Thanks for the info Charles, but no dice. I'm thinking that there may be
some atapicam issues after all because when I try the command you
recommended I get the following:

# growisofs -Z /dev/acd0c=bkuptest.iso
:-( unable to CAMGETPASSTHRU for /dev/acd0c: Inappropriate ioctl for
device

Here's the output from a dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/acd0c:
/dev/acd0: unable to open: Inappropriate ioctl for device

I did check out the docs at /usr/local/share/doc/dvd+rw-tools/index.html
and they pretty much re-enforce what you said.

Any other ideas??

Thanks,
Chris
