The overall process seems to ended quite succesfully. Just try to
eject the cd before mounting the fresh cd that you burned. I had
similar issues very recently and this was the solution for me. 

If you are bored to death, try these:

# burncd -f /dev/acd0 (blabla)
 (wait to finish)

# cdcontrol -f /dev/acd0 eject
# cdcontrol -f /dev/acd0 close
# mount_cd9660 -v /dev/acd0 /mnt/dvd
