VOBU Length Error In Replication!?

My DVD-R is being rejected by the replicator for this specific error:

The calculated length of the VOBU and the length specified in the DSI field disagree.
The length of the VOBU is calculated using the address of the Navigational Pack and the length as specified in the DSI field (NV_PCK + VOBU_EA = LENGTH). During the analysis, the EclipseSuite tools read from the beginning of the VOBU until they reach the next NV_PCK, which indicates the end of the current VOBU and the beginning of the next. The EclipseSuite tools keep count of the number of sectors that make up the VOBU. If the number of sectors does not equal to the length specified in the VOBU_EA field then this error occurs.
In most cases, this problem has caused playability problems. It is for this reason that it is considered an error.
This problem is caused during the authoring process and cannot be corrected in the pre-mastering or mastering. The image must be re-authored properly. Contact the authoring system manufacturer for more information.


Anyone know what causes this problem? I've tried re-authoring the disc from scratch, re-encoding some of the assets, changing scripts, deleting the PAR files, burning the project as an image --- this problem persists. The project plays fine on all 3 DVD players we've tested it on... but supposedly this problem could mean player incompatibility issues... the Eclipse Suite marks it as a FAIL flag.
