dvd+rw-format & growisofs

Gday folks,

Im having some dramas with burning to a DVDRW.

growisofs -Z /dev/scd0 -r -J /home/fukawi1/asdf

Works fine with a DVDR, or virgin DVDRW.
The trouble comes in with:

$ dvd+rw-format -blank /dev/scd0
* BD/DVD±RW/-RAM format utility by <appro@fy.chalmers.se>, version 7.1.
* 4.7GB DVD-RW media in Sequential mode detected.
* blanking 99.8%

This never actually reaches 100%, sometimes stops at 20-30%, often 98-99.9%, and then growisofs gives me:

:-[ WRITE@LBA=0h failed with SK=5h/ILLEGAL MODE FOR THIS TRACK]: Input/output error
:-( attempt to re-run with -dvd-compat -dvd-compat to engage DAO or apply full blanking procedure
:-( write failed: Input/output error

using -dvd-compat as the output suggested provides, the same error.

Google tells me it appears to be a generic error that isnt particularly helpful...

Thanks in advance
