I tried to see if I could get bacula to use dvd media with version 1.37.38 but I have ran into the same problem with both DVD+R and DVD+RW media. When I go to label either the program states the disk is not empty. I did a dvd+rw-mediainfo on the DVD+R disk and it was indeed blank. Here is the bacula message:
