Pioneer DVR-108 can burn DVDs, can't mount them!

Hi,

I'm using FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE with a custom kernel I just compiled a
few days ago to have the atapicam device (the only difference with the
stock kernel). I added hw.ata.atapi_dma="1" to /boot/loader.conf, and
indeed the device is accessed in UltraDMA mode 2.  My DVD burner is a
Pioneer DVR-108 with the latest firmware at this time (1.18). I can
burn DVDs using growisofs but I get a vague input/output error when I
try to mount them. (mount failed: input/output error, if I recall
correctly). The command I use to mount is: mount -t cd9660 /dev/cd0
/mnt. It seems I cannot mount DVDs at all, even originals. I was
wondering if the drive was defective so I tried it under a windows
environment and it could read the DVDs fine, even the ones I created
under FreeBSD.  I'd give you a full listing of the full error that
would swamp the (real) console when I tried to mount the DVDs but I
don't have access to the box right now. It was a scsi error. asq 8,3
is one of them from what I remember :)

Has anyone seen this before?

Thanks,
