Well, here's your problem:

You got a hardware error.  Specifically, it's a "Tracking servo failure".

This is probably not a CAM problem, but most likely a problem with your
drive.  I suggest that you:

1.  Contact Joerg Schilling <schilling@fokus.gmd.de>, the author of
    cdrecord.  He may know of specific issues with that drive that would
    cause it to spit out the above error.

2.  Contact Yamaha tech support, and see what they say about it.
