IMHO the problem is inside SCSI drive recognition system, which can be 
found in "drivers/scsi/sr.c".

The function "get_capabilities()" tries to find out which type of drive 
you have.

---------------------------schnipp--------------------------------------
    rc = sr_do_ioctl(i, cmd, buffer, 128, 1, SCSI_DATA_READ, NULL);

    if (rc) {
        /* failed, drive doesn't have capabilities mode page */
        scsi_CDs[i].cdi.speed = 1;
        scsi_CDs[i].cdi.mask |= (CDC_CD_R | CDC_CD_RW | CDC_DVD_R |
                     CDC_DVD | CDC_DVD_RAM |
                     CDC_SELECT_DISC | CDC_SELECT_SPEED);
        scsi_free(buffer, 512);
        printk("sr%i: scsi-1 drive\n", i);
        return;
    }

For my SCSI-2/USB drive, the above SCSI_DATA_READ command fails. As you 
can see, in this case the driver thinks that your drive is SCSI-1, ie. a 
CD-drive only. So DVD ioctls like the AGID commands will be filtered in 
the lower levels, because a CD-driver does not understand them anyway.

Unfortunately, the driver only knows SCSI-1 and SCSI-3, so SCSI-2 DVD 
driver are out of luck here and get downgraded to SCSI-1 CD-ROM stuff.

The patch below unmasks the DVD drive bit, ie. even if the kernel 
misdetects your driver, it will allow DVD ioctls to be passed to your drive.

This is not a safe fix, but "it works for me"(tm). I don't know how to 
really fix it; probably adding proper SCSI-2 support.
