Another odd problem I ran into is that growisofs does not like to be run
under sudo. In fact it completely aborts.
Read the man page for growisofs. In my version, there is an explanation
of that behaviour, the reasons for it, and ways to work around it.
This is a real hassle
Indeed, but it should be possible to resolve.
because
I generally use only sudo and never log in directly as root.
Good idea, especially if you're not operating a dedicated single-purpose
server for backups only.
I generally
don't even have a root password configured (Ubuntu style, although I am
running Fedora).
MacOS X style, even :-)
But I had to set one and use su because of this. Not
bacula's fault, just writing it to get this into the archives in case
someone else runs into it.
man growisofs
...
NOTES
If executed under sudo(8) growisofs refuses to start. ...
But note that the recommended alternative to the above "workaround" is
actually to install growisofs set-root-uid, in
which case it will drop privileges prior accessing data or
executing mkisofs in order to preclude unauthorized access
to the data.

Thanks!
