You're really close, and you might have been able to figure it out by
now, but maybe it'll be good for archiveness' sake :).

Your "path/to/dvd structure" should be one directory up from the actual
VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS directories.

for instance:

dfox@m206-157:~$ ls -l /tmp/lulu
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 2 dfox dfox  48 2006-05-13 09:16 AUDIO_TS
drwxr-xr-x 2 dfox dfox 400 2006-05-14 00:45 VIDEO_TS

I find one needs to add -dvd-video and -dvd-compat switches to the
growisofs command line.

so that is:

$ growisofs -dvd-media -dvd-compat -Z /dev/hdd /tmp/lulu

This works for me. I also use dvdauthor under wine and have it just
output the dvd over in /tmp/lulu and just reuse that directory afresh
for each dvd. My disk space is not a whole lot :)...

Once you have the command down, you can just use ctrl-r in bash to
bring it up, but in case it's vanished, maybe an alias would be
useful,. .

i.e., in $HOME/.profile:

alias bdvd="growisofs. .............."
