Hi All,

FINALLY figured it out!  The trick is the "-eject" command in
cdrecord.  Without it, you NEVER get a good md5sum back from
the cd in the drive.

-T


# Write the new ISO file to disk
# Note: to get a good md5sum, cdrecord must eject the disk (-eject)
cdrecord -v gracetime=2 dev=$CD -dao \
     driveropts=burnfree -data -eject $NewIso

# inject the disk (close the door)
/usr/bin/eject -t /dev/scd0

echo "Verifying data"
Sum1=`md5sum $NewIso | awk '{print $1}'`
Sum2=`md5sum $CD     | awk '{print $1}'`

if [ "$Sum1" != "$Sum2" ]; then
    /usr/bin/aplay -q /usr/share/sounds/k3b_error1.wav &
    echo "CRITICAL ERROR: Check sums do not match.  Bummer..."
    echo "NewIso Sum <"$Sum1">"
    echo "NewCD  Sum <"$Sum2">"
else
    /usr/bin/aplay -q /usr/share/sounds/KDE_Dialog_Appear.wav &
    echo 'SUCCESS!'
fi
