I wrote the following script after reading a tutorial, but...
but when I run
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.
Check the contents of the DVD, not just its session IDs, does it have the extra files or not?

You should add -R and -J to your mkisofs options, otherwise you'll be restricted to 8.3 style filenames.
From man cdrecord:
So multisession doesn't work the same way with DVD's, and 'session info' may not be valid.
Why not use growisofs? It's sort of a combined cdrecord and mkisofs built specially for multisession DVD's, not CD's.
Something to be aware of when using mkisofs and growisofs is when you do mkisofs ... folder1 folder2 it adds folder1/file.txt and folder2/file.txt to the base folder, not as folder1/file.txt and folder2/file.txt. This will try to create two files with the same name, causing mkisofs to die with a mysterious error about duplicate filenames which took me much headscratching to figure out.

I came across a small script called pyBurn (attached) which is a frontend for cdrecord. But it only burns cd's and doesn't even recognize my dvd-burner. I'm still learning python (very early stages) so I can't do much with it... is it possible to make it burn dvd's too?
