Just to be clear: I've been aware of the difference between single-use and rewritable disks for years. The disks giving "cannot be written in tao mode" were out of the box so could not have been written to previously by me (I've just got a refund from Amazon).
I started this post just to see if anyone else was having similar problems with CDs they bought, not to get help with how to write disks in general, which as I say I've done successfully for 10-15 years. The thread snowballed in a direction I didn't intend. I should have said that earlier to forestall misunderstanding.
I wish I hadn't posted the output of script for a partially written disk but I hoped it might indicate why it didn't complete. It didn't mean I failed to realise the disk couldn't be rewritten.
I don't want to darken counsel further so I'll shut up about this now.
