Most CD-burners won't re-read the CD's table-of-contents after  
burning an image, until you eject the device.  However, you might be  
able to use atacontrol to nudge the drive hard enough to take another  
look.

Arguably this is a bug with the CD-ROM firmware, but it's common  
enough to not be surprising.
