It took me awhile to resolve this, but I finally have a solution for
both of these problems.

First, daromizer needs to be run as a local script with the second
script "darmon" located in the same directory. If you try to treat it
as a standard program and copy the script to a /bin directory the script
will hang at the "waiting for the <first volume>" prompt. The easiest
thing to do is unpack the daromizer tarball, cd to the extracted
directory and run "./daromizer".

Second, there is a typo in the most recent daromizer release
(daromizer81.tar.gz) that prevents the script from recognizing that
there is a second dar slice to be burned. This is why the script is
burning one disk and then exiting as if the backup is finished. 

To fix this issue, open the daromizer script with your favorite text
editor and change line 303 which states:
$slicefile = $temppath.$shortname.$slice.$ext;

to read:
$slicefile = $temppath.$shortname.".".$slice.$ext;

This will correct the issue and let daromizer burn multiple disks as it
should. I have notified the author of this issue, so hopefully a
corrected script will be released on his site soon.
