I had the same problem until I prefaced it with sudo

anthony at anthony-desktop:~$ dvd+rw-booktype -dvd-rom-spec -unit+r
/dev/dvd
This program targets units of RICOH, BENQ, BTC and LITE-ON designs.
/dev/dvd doesn't appear to be one. Exiting.

anthony at anthony-desktop:~$ sudo dvd+rw-booktype -dvd-rom-spec -unit+r
/dev/dvd
Password:
Unit was instructed to brand DVD+plus media as DVD-ROM
anthony at anthony-desktop:~$

Works like a charm.
