Yes. Yesterday I was creating a double-layer backup dvd using
mkisofs and dvdrecord and encountered maybe same problem in that
it won't mount.  This has worked for a long time but didn't this
time so I used growisofs and it worked fine.  So something appears
to be an issue with dvdrecord and maybe cdrecord.
