This is hopefully the last update.  I have now burned several DVDs, 
including the ones that failed earlier, with no errors at all.  I guess 
the newer version of cdrtools has some issues which may be why it is not 
in stable yet.  ;-)

I hope the DVD guru saw this and the error just in case he sees what 
needs fixing.  Maybe he is on vacation or something.  :-)

Thanks for the pointer Neil.  It got me fixed in the end.
