Default Dual-Layer DVD+R under Gnome?

I have a Dell DVD+-RW GSA-H73N drive, and K3B recognizes it as
dual-layer with double-layer support. However, anytime I put a DVD+R DL
disc in the drive, I get a message from dmesg saying "I can't find any
tracks on this disc!" and I/O errors if I attempt to write to the disc.
Both Nautilus and k3b fail when attempting to write ISOs to the drive.

Anyone else have a similar drive that is burning DL discs, or know how I
can probe a little deeper here?

Have you tried looking for a firmware update for your drive? It might be that the drive is incompatible with this specific media. I had this problem with a NEC drive once that was solved through an upgrade.

I also had a similar issue. I upgraded the kernel to 2.6.24 and it
resolved the issue.
