Ok, Michael had a better idea. He suggested to use
"IOBlockStorageServices" and not "IOSCSIPeripheralDeviceNub" and
voila, it works:

bash-3.2# /opt/schily/bin/cdrecord -scanbus

And, testing himdformat_scg:

bash-3.2# ./himdformat_scg 3,0,0
Cannot open scsi driver.

Hmm?! Am I missing something? I'm calling this as root so it can't be
a permissions thing.

I will continue to test anyway.
