Does anyone have a *SCRIPT* for backing up data to DVD+R media under Fedora?

OK, I just tried with a DVD+R and here are my results

Tarred the files and used split to break it up into chunks of 4000m
(Interesting enough mkisofs spat the dummy if I used larger files than
that).

mkisofs -R -V "volume name" -o cd.aa.img holding.tar.aa
growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/cdrom=cd.aa.img

Worked perfectly, no errors or anything.  But I cannot read the DVD
back.  A mount command comes back with

[pkiem at Peter pkiem]$ mount /dev/cdrom
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdrom,
       or too many mounted file systems


WTF am I missing here?
