For writing ISO images to CDs it is usually easier just to right click on the ISO icon in Nautilus and select the burn CD option from the drop down menu than fight the command line. Although I think for writing the ISO with wodim the command you give looks plausible. What actually happened when the command was issued - did it appear to write and you just got a CD that wouldn't boot? Did you try it on a machine you know boots from CDs successfully?
