K3b produces the same error, here are the relevant lines from K3b's debugging output:

seems to be a growisofs issue, reassigning for now.

Same here on Ubuntu 9.10. DVD burning is completely not functional. I get the following in my dmesg:

I have a very similar problem.
I'm running jaunty with growisofs 7.1.

I can burn CD-R, DVD-R, DVD+R DL. But when I try DVD-R DL I get

erny@mitchell:~$ growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/sr1=/home/erny/tmp/xyz.iso
Executing 'builtin_dd if=/home/erny/tmp/xyz.iso of=/dev/sr1 obs=32k seek=0'
:-[ READ DVD STRUCTURE #10h failed with SK=8h/ASC=ABh/ACQ=80h]: Input/output error

The drive can burn DVD-R DL when I use Nero on Windows Pro 2000.

I hope this helps. It looks like many others are having similar problems. - Erny

Dual Layer DVD burning problems and possible workaround are described in bug #311297
Maybe this bug should be marked as a duplicate?
