Ok, a happy camper! Which version of Bacula you are using? Seems the current 
ones are broken or I have a serious configuration error somewhere.

I think -dvd-compat fixes some dvd writing issues, but I have no problems 
there. DVD will be written fine, but the problems are in catalog updating and 
using recucled volumes.

Well, yes.  But I've taken some preventative measures too.  I also have
modified the script to copy all the spooled files to a different
directory so that I can verify they all made it to the DVD before
deleting them.  It was frequently a problem *until* I added the
dvd-compat flag that bacula would write the DVD but the file wouldn't be
on it.  Especially if they were small.

JF> Which version of Bacula you are using?

I'm currently using an older one (2.0.3).  I need to upgrade at some
point soon..

I saw your notes but couldn't interpret anything from them to help ya,
so I didn't respond...
