Multi session dvd using cdrecord

I wrote the following script after reading a tutorial, but...

Code:

#!/usr/bin/ksh                                      
DATE=`date +"%y%m%d%H%M"`                           
echo $DATE                                          
FILENAME=`echo "obase = 16\n $DATE"|bc`             
echo $FILENAME                                      
cd /                                                
tar ctvf /home/$FILENAME.tar u >/dev/null           
cd /home                                            
gzip $FILENAME.tar                                  
mv $FILENAME.tar.gz $FILENAME.tgz                   
POSITION=`cdrecord -msinfo`                         
echo $POSITION                                      
mkisofs -o $FILENAME.iso -C $POSITION $FILENAME.tgz 
cdrecord -sao -multi $FILENAME.iso

but when I run

Code:

cdrecord -msinfo

afterwards, it always says 0,0
The media is DVD-RW
What I had hoped would happen is that the latest backup would be appended to the dvd.
