Jeppers, that fixed it. Strange, I was pretty sure I already changed
it when you suggested it. Anyway, it works now:

minimac2:basictools zedv$ ./himdformat_scg 3,0,0
SCSI command sent successfully.
minimac2:basictools zedv$

We can finally start putting the pieces together and implement a
working formatting (and other useful SCSI commands) function on
QHiMDTransfer on _all_ supported platforms. Great work, guys!

I will send updated patches for cdrtools and build instructions for
MacOS X to the list soon.
