Actually, this last isn't quite correct.  The original poster stated that
he had a Sony 926S, an cdwrite *DOES* support that model -- or at least,
it works with the 926S via an earlier Sony model's support (I don't recall
which).  I've used cdwrite with my own Sony 926S.

I do agree that cdrecord is the better choice, overall, since it's being
actively maintained and improved.

As to the original poster's plight, I'd suggest that you post more
details.  Saying "it doesn't work," without elaboration, isn't very
helpful from a debugging point of view.  So:  Try cdrecord rather than
cdwrite, and if that doesn't work, give details of what failed, including
any error messages you get.
