OK. I thought I would try some different versions of software and see
what happens. With the info Neil provided about what does what, I

version and it worked fine on the first try with my backup file. It is
as I type burning the second DVD with no errors yet. I'm using
cdrtools-2.01.01_alpha57-r1 at the moment. Maybe this will work.
As mentioned before, if it works for you _after_ this change, you did not prove
anything. In special you did not prove that the change is a result _from_
changing releases.
There are many changes in cdrtools since January 2009, but there was no change
that could affect your problem.
Your media was either accepted after several tries by the drive for unknown
reasons and is now usable in general again or you are observing a problem
caused by "hald". Note that hald does not care about the CD/DVD/BD Writing
process and interrupts it. This is why hald may cause any strange result.

All I know is that I downgraded cdrtools and it worked. I didn't even
eject the media. Since it works now , I don't guess there is any way to
test it. Next time I do a backup, I'll upgrade and see if it fails. If
it does, maybe then we can figure it out. I'll go back to my current
version and see if it works then. May be a bit before I do backups
again tho.
