Excellent, I did something right. :) Thanks for confirming.

Brand new disc fresh out of the case. All I've done so far is attempt
to label it, and manually format it using dvd+rw-format. I suppose one
of my attempts to label it might have written something to it, but so
far the error messages I've gotten suggest to me that it hasn't gotten
that far. ("Sorry, I have to mount it before I can label it, and I
can't mount it.") In fact, I had the storage device definition wrong at
first, so it would have been impossible to label it then. Once I got my
definitions correct I started getting the error above; so a non-blank
medium represents a cart-before-the-horse problem. :)

Same issue; previous attempts were with the wrong definition, so it
didn't have a directory to work with. Nonetheless I'll check both
possibilities out next chance I get (probably tonight or tomorrow
after I get home, I'm visiting the parents right now).

Yeah. And the reply I got earlier suggesting that it's no better under
Linux and DVD writing isn't ready yet doesn't make me feel much better.
I was really hoping to migrate away from these DDS-3 tapes. I seem to
have avoided the reliability problems many people claim, but by today's
standards they're slow and expensive. And these are wearing out. DVD is
a medium that's cheap, both drives and media, due to economies of
scale. Hard drives are now cheap enough to be a serious contender, but
I was really hoping to keep my budget down even lower. There's still
something like a 2x (+RW) to 5x (+R) gap from what I've seen.
