They (well, xmcd at least) require the *raw* device. From the xmcd manpage:

       -dev device
		Specifies  the  path name to the raw CD-ROM device.
						 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
		If this option is not used, the default  device  to
		be  used  is  the  first drive set up with the xmcd
		configuration program (See below).

So try ``xmcd -dev /dev/racd0c''. If that doesn't work try racd0a.
