I've been banging my head against the wall trying to figure out this
message:

3910 Unable to open device "DVD Writer" (/dev/hdd): ERR=There is no
valid media in the device "DVD Writer" (/dev/hdd).

Label command failed for Volume Windows_DVD.
Do not forget to mount the drive!!!

... and the message...
Please mount Volume "Default-Test-0001" on Storage Device "DVDWriter"
(/dev/hdd)

... the real problem has nothing to do with those error messages.

If you build and install dvd+rw-tools from source (using the bacula
patch), it will default to putting the executables (dvd+rw-format,
growisofs, etc) in /usr/local/bin.

The python script that bacula uses to control the DVD, dvd-handler, has
the path for those utilities hard-coded to /usr/bin.  Therefore, when it
tries to check the status, etc, of the DVD, it won't be able to execute
those utilities, which confuses it and makes it spit out the above
errors.

If you're getting those messages, check /etc/bacula/dvd-handler and make
sure the definitions near the top of the file match the actual locations
of your dvd+rw tools.

I just spent several hours trying to troubleshoot this problem, and
almost gave up on Bacula altogether :(
