Monty,
BTW There is still a bug in the SG_IO ioctl block layer implementation
in the linux kernel 2.6 series (e.g. when /dev/scd0 is used as the
device name). The SCSI status value is returned but not the host or
driver values (i.e. errors detected at the near end or along the wire
are not reported). Hence if one had an external cd reader and the
cable was pulled during the transfer then the transport (e.g. USB,
iee1394, SPI) knows but cdparanoia won't get a sensible error from
the SG_IO ioctl.

Hopefully this problem will soon be addressed.
