I have been trying to do this for hours.

basically, I just want to have an Applescript start when I enter a blank cd (can do), copy a bunch of files on it, rename the CD, burn it and eject it.

I got the copy and eject down but I cannot find anything to burn the from the finder?

Any help would be great. I have to do like 400!

(I love answering my own questions)

I created a compiled AppleScript, changed my CD preference to run it when a blank CD was put in and ran this as the AppleScript.

do shell script "hdiutil burn " & "/Users/me/Desktop/imagename.cdr.img"

The only drawback is that it pops out the cd asking for it again as part of the hdiutil and you just have to put it in again.
