You should ensure that no autmounting mechanism is active for that 
device anyway... I found that writes to DVD would work without problems, 
but the data could not be accessed when I had udev/hal automounting a 
DVD I used for Bacula.

Hmm... at least in your log excerpt I didn't see the DIR and SD deciding 
to create a new volume. These two settings should be enough.

That's a "bug" in the manual, then... it should be described as labeling 
  a volume. As all volumes Bacula uses have to be labeled, that command 
applies to tapes, disk files, and DVDs.
