I'm using 2.0.3-4 on etch (I recompiled the lenny sources for etch on Sparc) and it works fine for DVDs.
I've made a couple of suggestions inline in the message but I documented the procedure that I went though when finding the bugs in DVD writing. You may find the instructions at http://bridge.oldelvet.org.uk/bacula/BaculaDVDSetup.html useful.

If there is blank media in there then it will autolabel.
