What Joliet/Rock Ridge problem?

As it should be :)

I think it is - but I would need to check to be sure.

When I run k3b (1.x (KDE 3 version)), it's usually started from the
command line. Slackware build of k3b seems to have debug messages
enabled, so I do see the command being executed while the DVD is
burning.

This evening, I plan to burn a DVD for backup, and I will try to
remember to get you the debug output so you can see the commands being
run.

Alternatively you can obtain the source code and grep through to find
the command being issued.

I'm not sure if there's any kind of scripting support in K3b. Not sure
if you can do anything with dcop (probably no longer used in recent
K3b) or dbus.

If this feature does not exist, it would be cool if someone could add
support for it. Perhaps that's a project I should start (I program in
C++/Qt ).... unless someone has already coded up the feature.

Any thoughts on this, anyone?
