I'm curious, what version did you upgrade from?

If I'm not mistaken (I could be), the above devices are
the ATAPI drives, where the corresponding atapicam devices
(used by cdrecord) are:

crw-r-1 rootoperator4,   18 Jan 27 16:58 cd0c
crw-r-1 rootoperator4,   19 Jan 27 16:58 cd1c

I have very little experience with 5.x.  I don't know how the
kernel handles SCSI via ATA; if the config is the same or not...
Incidentally, I didn't see your kernel config or dmesg output.

from http://www.cuivre.fr.eu.org/~thomas/atapicam/

device ata
device atapicd  # or atapifd or atapist
device atapicam
# Versions prior to 20020820 used 'options ATAPICAM'

device scbus
device pass
device cd   # or sa or da

This info is a little dated, but may still be relevant
in your case.  I'd make sure your kernel has the appropriate
options and rebuild it.

Please read the post before giving advice.  He is root.

The above suggestions will work if you're actually having
permissions problems with the device.

su to root then use cdrecord scanbus
or
add yourself to the wheel group, then do 'sudo cdrecord scanbus' 
or
(most unsecure option) su to root, chmod +s /usr/local/bin/cdrecord,
exit root, cdrecord is now usable by 'regular' user's.
