The above growisofs command(by Paul) to write the files generate the
Rock Ridge extentions(-R option) and the Joliet extensions(-J option)
when writing the DVD. This can be found as an option in k3b under the
burn options tab Filesystem. Try to burn a DVD+RW with k3b with those
options checked and see if the problem persists.
