Hi,

I was trying to set up bacula on my parents' laptop the other day so
that they could do proper backups to DVD+RW disks. Only it isn't
working.

- Running 'dvd-handler /dev/dvdrw write 1 /tmp/foo' works perfectly; it
  blanks the disc and writes the file /tmp/foo on it.
- Running the 'label' command in the console after doing the above does
  not work, since dvd-handler detects that something is on the disc
  already but it does not recognize it, so it refuses to write to it.
- Running 'dvd-handler /dev/dvdrw prepare' seems to work fine, it blanks
  the disk.
- Runnig 'label' again after the prepare does not work; dvd-handler
  tries to mount the disc repetitively but fails, and the log reports
  failure to read from the disk ('zero blocks received'). The storage
  daemon then also segfaults for good measure.

They're running the version of bacula that is in Debian squeeze.

Is this just me, or should I file a bugreport somewhere?
