Mastering house says DDP disks failed... again.
I'm having some serious and mysterious problems with a DVD9 I'm getting mastered for replication. I don't have access to a DLT drive, so I'm sending the DDP files on two DVD-R's, which the mastering house says should be no problem. However, everytime I send the disks, they get fatal errors. Here are the errors they get when they run it through Eclipse:
1) Opposite track path not valid for single layer
2) Control data and DDP layer count disagree (CTRL=1, DDP=2)
3) Control data and DDP main data length disagree
4) Invalid control data disc size
5) Invalid control data layer type
I've sent them five different sets of disks, trying everything I could think of: I've tried scrapping the old build files and starting from scratch, I've tried moving the manual layer break to a different place, and I've tried exporting as DDP 2.0., DDP 2.1, and CMF. And I've double-checked everything I can think of to make sure I've specified the disk properties correctly: DL, OTP, manual break, etc., etc.
Does anyone have any other suggestions? I'm feeling a bit desperate and lost.

PS: Here is all the relevant technical info I can think of:
It was authored using DVDSP4.1 on a 20" Intel Imac, exported as a disk image (DDP, CMF, etc) and burned using Toast Titanium 7.1. (I used UDF, not video.) The project is about 6.9 gigs. I don't get any serious errors during the build or format. (Just the regular errors that everyone here seems to agree are normal.) There is no CSS, Macrovision, or any of that stuff to complicate things. It's all region. The only less-than-straightforward thing about the whole project is that it is dual-layer. I've burned several playable DL versions on my DL SuperDrive and they work fine.
And two possibly related threads:
Apple tech support suggested it might have something to do with general media vs authoring media. The connection is unclear to me, so I'm posting on that issue separately as "General Media vs. Authoring Media."
There's also a possible issue around the seamless/non-seamless nature of the layer breaks, which I am posting separately as "Seamless vs Non-Seamless--Receiving Contradictory Advice"
