For what it's worth. I just use K3B for ad-hoc DVD burns. Just right 
click on the directory and choose "Make data CD with K3B" from the 
actions menu. Put a DVD+RW in and click Burn. Job done. You only have to 
format the DVD+RW once then you just burn over the top.

I know it's not a script but if you plan on kicking backup off manually 
it is just as easy for a single directory.

Cheers,

Pete
