Since you have some hands on experience with this stuff, see if you can 
help me figure this out.  I used Kbackup to create 4.7Gb tarballs of my 
data directory.  I use k3b to burn my DVD's with.  I get this error when 
I try to burn it:

Here is my thoughts.  K3b seems to be using growisofs instead of the 
tools supplied by cdrtools.  Is there some way to "disable" growisofs or 
is there another way to do this? Here is what I have installed:

[I--] [  ] app-cdr/dvd+rw-tools-7.1 (0)
[I--] [  ] app-cdr/cdrdao-1.2.2-r2 (0)
[I--] [ ~] app-cdr/cdrtools-2.01.01_alpha41 (0)

Any other ideas are welcome as well. 

Thanks

Dale
