growisofs problem on Pioneer DVR-A07U



Good day to all you gentle folks out there!
 
I have installed Pioneer DVD+/-R/RW, model DVR-A07U on a brand new Intel machine (P4-3GHz), running Red Hat 9.0.  I am using the DVD-recorder as a backup mechanism to store and backup our data.  I have DVD+RW-tools 5.17.4.8.6 and cdrecord version 2.0.
 
The problem that I have is that when I type in:

/usr/local/bin/growisofs -Z /dev/scd0=cd_image

the DVD+RW disc gets over written with the new image (as it should!) but when I execute the same command through a CRON job, I get this error message:

FATAL: /dev/scd0 already carries isofs!

I tried to erase the DVD+RW by using the command:

dvdrecord dev=0,0,0 -blank=fast (orforce)
and I get the following error message:

dvdrecord dev=0,0,0 -blank=fast

Does anyone out there know why this is happening and why is this command behaving differently in CRON vs. shell?  Does anyone have a solution for this problem? 

Can you please copy me on your responses.

Best regards,

Sam
