Getting udftools to work with Hoary

I'm trying to get udftools up and going with hoary.  Have made very 
little progress.

Apparently, you have to edit /etc/default/udftools. Then, when you run 
'dpkg-reconfigure udftools', some /dev/pktcdvd/* files get created. From 
what I've read, I'm guessing these are the device files used for packet 
writing. This step is good, because I believe it means my kernel does 
have packet writing support compiled in. I believe this because of the 
last section in the README.Debian included with the udftools package.

However, I still can't create a filesystem on a cdrw in the drive. Here 
are my attempts:

levander at bread:/usr/share/doc/udftools $ cdrwtool -d /dev/hdc -q
using device /dev/hdc
1088KB internal buffer
setting write speed to 12x
wait_cmd: Operation not permitted
Command failed: bb 00 ff ff 08 40 00 00 00 00 00 00 - sense 00.00.00
set speed
can't unlock door

levander at bread:/usr/share/doc/udftools $ cdrwtool -d /dev/pktcdvd/0 -q
using device /dev/pktcdvd/0
set_options
can't unlock door

levander at bread:/usr/share/doc/udftools $ mkudffs --media-type=cdrw /dev/hdc
trying to change type of multiple extents

levander at bread:/usr/share/doc/udftools $ mkudffs --media-type=cdrw 
/dev/pktcdvd/0
trying to change type of multiple extents

In the output of that first cdrwtool command above. It says "setting 
speed to 12x". Don't know why it's set there. The drive supports writing 
to CDRW's at 24x, and the disc itself in the drive only supports 10x.

Could that be causing the "can't unlock door message"?

How would I change the write speed?

There are probably just some steps I'm missing that I'm supposed to do 
when trying to get udftools set up.

Thanks for any help,
-Levander
