Well nobody gave me new ideas so here is the Run Afrer script I came up with.
It does not check for enough free space but overburns old data without
asking. It does not take advantage of the second side of the DVD. There
things would be easy to add. My challenges were checking to see if the DVD
was already formatted and only formatting it if it had not been.

#!/bin/bash
## This script takes a Bacula volume as an argument
## (found in /backup) and burns it to a DVD.
## Run After Job = /path/to/script %v
volume=$1
if [ -z $volume ]; then
echo "Usage: $0 <volume>"
exit 1
fi
mount /dev/dvd
status=$?
umount /dev/dvd
if [ $status -ne 0 ]; then
echo "The media is not formatted!"
echo "Formatting now..."
dvd+rw-format /dev/dvd
echo "Writing data to the DVD for the first time..."
growisofs -Z /dev/dvd -l /backup/$1
echo "Done writing data to the DVD."
else
echo "Appending data to the DVD..."
growisofs -M /dev/dvd -l -overburn /backup/$1
echo "Done writing data to the DVD."
fi
