Do you then burn it as an ISO file system so the file you are duming
shows up as a file on the CD?  If so thats the difference.  The cdrecord
method I used is writing raw data so you can't mount it.  The -pad adds
extra 0's to the end of the track so dump will read extra data.  If you 
are writing it as a file it will be read as the correct length.

Can dumps data structure deal with finding extra junk at the end of a volume?
If not I don't see how the method I used based on the example could work.

I will also look at the shunt program suggested.

Does this really need a clean partition?
