I realise now that the disk that did burn correctly was not a DVD-R, but a 
DVD+R.  Previously the drive had burned either type.  I have tried several -R 
and -RW disks in k3b, and k3b did not recognise any of them.  (The one that 
apparently burned from cdrecord/command-line yet could not be read is a 
separate mystery.)  I have now burned another backup onto a DVD-RW disk.

So, it seems that either k3b, cdrecord, or the drive, no longer will accept -R 
or 0RW disks.
