I can verify that this process DOES work IF YOU DO IT COMPLETELY IN DISK COPY!

1. Create blank dmg with Disk Copy - copy files to image. Unmount image, burn cd from Disk Copy.
2. To append another session - create a new dmg (or you can even use the old one - if names are not changed though you will get volume names like Test, Test 1, etc as mountpoints), copy files to image, unmount image, burn cd from Disk Copy - disk copy will spit out CD drawers - insert previous CD and close tray.

Interesting note - first off - you immediately see a difference in teh first session when you will notice that Disk Copy uses terminology in its dialogs like "Burning Session, closing session, etc". After the first session is burned and mobing on to the others I noticed the disk is automatically noticed as a multi-session. I am never preseneted with the dialog to "append" ...instead it immediately starts burning the disk.Also - the multi-session CD mounts fine in OS X 10.1.5 even without closing the disk.

FYI - I am using a QUE 24x/10x/32x CD-RW in an external ADS Pyro FW case running off a G4/400.

I am doing a little experimentation - where does the Finder store the temp disk img it creates when you insert a blank CD and let the Finder "prepare" it? I remember in OS 9 you could easily find the tmp disk img in the System Folder, but I can not find it in OS X. I am wondering since the Finder always prepares disk for full-volume (e.g. 650mb) if maybe that is why the Finder disk burns are failing - I mean maybe the Finder senses the disk being full (even though youmay only be burning 10mb) and auto-closes the disk instead of leaving it open for further sessions.

Did you try to look inside /private/tmp folder? It's an invisible folder, but you can opt to make it visible by either using TinkerTool or type this command on the terminal:

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 1
