It looks like n-c-b does it all with one command.  With the "Erase CD"
box checked, the command will look something like:

cdrecord speed=<speed> dev=<dev> blank=fast -v

Of course, many more options may be appended depending on certain
things.  Debugging n-c-b can be tricky since it's a Nautilus component. 
You can try editing cd-recorder.c, and changing the line:

#undef DEBUG_CDRECORD

to:

#define DEBUG_CDRECORD 1

Then restart Nautilus, and watch your console or ~/.xsession-errors.  If
nothing is written there, you may need to start Nautilus from the
command line, then try the CD burn.  The results of this should prove
helpful in tracking down the problem.  However, I have a strong feeling
that the command line produced by n-c-b will also fail if run
manually....
