not a solution but maybe an explanation because I experienced a very
similar problem:
I think that the ide-scsi translator can only translate 'normal', CD-
operation related commands, when I try to play a DVD on an ATAPI
drive that is accessed via ide-scsi I find a message in the kernel
logs that says that ide-scsi could not translate a command that
was given to it. This was kernel 2.4.2, maybe this has already been
fixed in a newer kernel so that ide-scsi knows about the command
necessary to authenticate a DVD.
A workaround would be to access the drive as a normal IDE drive
and only use the scsi-emulation for burning CDs.
