[dvd::rip] problems with burning on dvd::rip 0.52.2

[Bill Buttling <billbuttling@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi this is my first post and my first use of dvd::rip.
Am running Mandrake linux 10.1 and KDE 3.2.
All dependencies for dvd::rip show OK and all necessary components are at
least to recommended version.
Tried to rip a DVD in my collection to check out the function and got as far
as burn to CD without any problems. Transcoded and split to MPEG option SVCD
and arrived with two .mpg files of 795MB and 535MB. Created CD image of first
file and have now a SVCD file of 805MB. I have read the previous posts as I
was wondering why this was over the size of a 700MB CD which is what I set in
the preferences at Transcode time but I now understand this should not be a
problem to burn. When I try to burn I get message as follows
ln: creating symbolic link
'/home/bill/data/myvideo/milliondollarbabe/avi/002/milliondollarbabe_1.svcd.b
in' to
'/home/bill/data/myvideo/milliondollarbabe/avi/002/milliondollarbabe_1.svcd':

Here is the log file

 see what's going wrong here:
Fri Aug  5 18:02:40 2005 ---- job output start ----
Fri Aug  5 18:02:40 2005 ---- job output end ----

Have checked out everything I can from the GUI as regards dependencies etc,
where do I go from Here ?
Why would the operation to burn not be permitted ?

Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks
