It looks as though the media was at least part of the problem.  Changing to a 
different brand disk got me a complete burn, no error messages whatsoever.  
However, I find I cannot read the disk.  It is not automounting.  For a 
manual mount, is the type iso9660?

dmesg|tail
cdrom: This disc doesn't have any tracks I recognize!

Doesn't look good
