Burninating is failing...
My wife is burning some CD-Rs of archival research photos (50MB TIFFs are her norm - oy), and has run into a bizarre situation.
Most of the CDs have been done through the Finder, dragging and dropping until the CD-R is full, then pressing that sweet sweet Burn button, and voila. Works beautifully.
Then she was going to do one that only held 250MB or so, and decided to use Disk Utility. Created a disk image file (660MB in size - I told her this wasn't necessary, that she only needed the amount she was going to burn to disk), loaded it up with the files in the Finder, went back to DU and clicked Burn. She then selected "Make appendable" so she could finish filling it up later.
It seemed to burn, but afterwards the Finder refused to see it, and DU won't mount it.
Any ideas?

Finder might be misreading an open session. Toast should see it.

That was my first analysis of it as well, but the fact that DU wouldn't mount it either told me there may be something else going on.
DU sees the session, and sees the volume title, etc, but the volume title/icon is greyed out. Very odd.
