I have tried burning a dvd+rw on my dvd+/- unit.  But I've used
"dvd+rw-format -blank" on a dvd-rw.  This "minimally" blanks the
dvd (there's also an option for -blank=full).  I don't know if
such a procedure shortens the life of the dvd or if it's even
necessary.  Maybe you can also force DAO using -dvd-compat
-dvd-compat (the 2x is not a typo).

question about growisofs

I remember being able to overwrite the contents of a dvd+rw 
by using the -Z option. That was from 6 or 8 months ago,
and using woody rather than sarge. And, I distinctly remember
that such a use of -Z was explained and recommended in the
growisofs man page. But now it isn't mentioned, and it doesn't
work. What is the way for wiping out and overwriting now?
