It's a while ago that I played with DVD writing, but perhaps some
helpful hints:

Are there any messages regarding this job?

It should work if you've enabled it in the DIR too.
Then, you probably need a patched version of the dvd+rw-tools.
Finally, try running the commands from your configuration from the
shell, as the user the SD runs as.
Make sure your mount an unmount commands work (they most likely do).
Try the free space command: '/etc/bacula/dvd-handler /dev/hdb free ;
echo $?' It should return a reasonable number of free space on the disk
and an error code of zero. If it doesn't, verify the disk is empty and
your dvd+rw-mediainfo (IIRC) works correctly.
Then, he the write command to write a reasonably sized file to an empty
disk. Note that from my experience the file must not be too small - some
100 MB might be the reasonable minimum.
Finally, if these all work correctly, enable debug output in the SD and
see if there are any DVD related messages that indicate problems.
