MBP's UJ-857D "Superdrive" Doesn't Burn Dual Layer?

I'm quite confused about my Core 2 Duo Macbook Pro.
In system profiler, it says
CD-Write: -R, -RW
DVD-Write: -R, -RW, +R, +R DL, +RW

I insert a DVD+R DL (Verbatim made in Singapore, MKM 001) and when I try to burn something, disk utility starts up, finishes the burn and makes me a coaster. Same thing happens when I switch into imgburn. Some peripheral error occurs. So....what's going on here? Is my computer lying to me about being able to burn dual layers?

Macbook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.2)
