I suspect that the problem is due to linux not re-initialising its internal state regarding the size of the DVD image when the write has completed. If that is the case then kern.log will have some errors about block numbers being greater than the device size.
If you have a DVD drive that will eject and reload the DVD without manual intervention (i.e. it is a motorised drawer on the drive) then you can comment out the following line from /etc/bacula/scripts/dvd-handler growcmd += " -use-the-force-luke=notray" Just put a # at the start of the line to comment it out.
