Getting udftools to work with Hoary

[Levander]

I guess I should mention how I configured /etc/default/udftools to make 
sure I did it right.  There are only four things you configure:

DEVICES="/dev/hdc"
UDEV=true
NEWINT=true
#NEWINTNAMES="0 1 2 3"

We are supposed to use the "new interface" with hoary?  The I'm running 
kernel 2.6.10-5-686-smp.

Then after doing that, I ran 'dpkg-reconfigure udftools', which made the 
/dev/pktcdvd/* files.  That those files were created is what makes me 
think that I do have kernel support for packet writing to dvd's.

Then I tried the cdrwtool command in the combinations listed below, with 
the various errors I report.

Somebody knows how to set udftools up, I would appreciate hearing about it.
