I've seen such error when in-system cd-recording support, either in
freebsd or in dragonfly, was fundamentally broken -- or uncapable of
handling hardware and/or medium. Sometimes it came to writing 896 Kb
and bailing out with similar message about -1. Sorry I can't be more
specific, it's all from memory.
