This works for me:

growisofs -use-the-force-luke \
        -Z /dev/scd0 -q -r \
        -m packages -m evolution -m backups  \
        /home/summer

If I have dvd-rw media I do this first:
dvd+rw-format -blank /dev/scd0

For reference here's a script I run 8:00 ean morning at work:
ummer at Echidna:~$ cat bin/mk.dvd
#!/bin/bash
dvd+rw-format -blank /dev/scd0
growisofs -use-the-force-luke \
        -Z /dev/scd0 -q -r \
        -m packages -m evolution -m backups  \
        /home/summer


-m is primarily to prune big bits that otherwise might not fit.

I swap disks when I want to bring stuff home.
