I've always had problems with "cdrecord -scanbus" I never seem to get the second scsi bus on my machines (where all the CD burners are) scaned but using "cdrecord dev=1,4,0 speed=8 /path/to.iso" works fine for my 8x4x24 Yam. First off SCSI emulation is the second scsi bus (as the first bus is your real scsi card). I'd be guessing that a virtual scsi controler would at the first scsi device (1,0,0) so I'd try 1,1,0. What I would do is to try to burn a cd without a cd in the burner starting at 1,0,0 and increasing that second number (the device id), you'll either get something about the device not existing or it'll barf when it checks the media but before then you'll get a load of info about te burner.
