Did you format the DVD media before trying to burn data to it, or use the -Z 
option?  From "man growisofs":

        Virgin  DVD+RW  media needs to be formatted, using dvd+rw-format, prior
        recording  with  growisofs.  dvd+rw-format  can   also   be   used   to
        blank/switch  between  DVD-RW  media  modes  (Restricted  Overwrite vs.
        Sequential).
