Sending multiple files in Nautilus to a script doesn't work the way I expected…

I have a script and I associated it to a certain file type, something that
was easily done with earlier versions of Ubuntu but with my current
installation – Ubuntu 12.04 – I needed to use Ubuntu Tweak (or similar) to
do a simple task like that… unbelievable…
Never mind, that's a bit off topic.
So my intention was to write a script that takes filenames as arguments,
and then the script should burn those files to a CD-R/RW.
The problem is that when I highlight, let's say three files, in Nautilus,
then click ”Open with…” and then select my script ”BurnFiles”, the script
runs three times, once for each file, instead of running the script one
with all the three files.
Is there a way to get around this, or do I need to use Nautilus Actions
(which seems a bit unreliable on my system)?
