Ok, well, unless the dvd is already formatted, I think this is required
to work before the below will be fully successful.
I know there are some restrictions on which kernel versions formatdvd
will work on. Any chance that's an issue? There are also kernel
patches available, in case you have a version which doesn't have needed
features.

Hmm, I'm surprised hdd worked here. I thought the scsi device node was
needed. I could be wrong, but I thought mine failed if I tried a hd?
device name here.
Either way, after the first use of this command, you should be able to
mount the dvd. Also, you can just use this command again to erase/write
the same info. It should succeed the second time also. (But I think
you'll need to get the format working first.)

If you're successful with the above (single growisofs -Z) command, then
a 'mount /mnt /dev/scd0' should get you a clean mount. If not, then
something is still wrong.
