An update. Since my last posting, I have tried using drutil to burn.
Here's the handler I'm using ...

My results were disappointing. On three occasions, I was able to
actually burn a session to a CD-RW disk. In all three cases, the
itemRef being burned was a folder. I have not yet been able to burn
from a .dmg or .sparseimage file.
Do you mean, from AppleScript?
How does drutil behave with disk images from the command line?
Until I put the timeout around the burn statement, the script
timed-out after 1 min and the script died. Now the script just sits
there not responding and eventually needs to be force quit.
All those disk-related commands often operate asynchronously.
You could try by launching (from within "do shell script") drutil
detached and in the background for burning; execution of your script
would then immediately continue after the corresponding "do shell
script" command.
The 'burn' command seems to be launching some disk burning process,
then killing the script. But the burning process continues with
absolutely no indication to the user that it's even running. No
progress. No icon. No message. No nothing. The CD refuses to be
ejected, which seems to indicate that burning is in progress. Then,
with no warning, the CD ejects and when reinserted, mounts a new disk.
Perhaps I am using drutil incorrectly, but I am beginning to think
that it is simply not very well designed software.
Well, it hasn't been specifically devised to be run from AppleScript's
"do shell script" command. ;-)
But this doesn't mean per se it has been badly devised.
We'll see.
