Ah yes deductive logic.  I just wondered if there was
something that I missed.

After trying everything that you suggested i.e. the
cat test and then changing the filesystem to jfs, I
realized I only had 400M on my main distro partition. 


I had a lot of trash in my wastebasket.  After
emptying it, I've had 3 in a row succesful Perfect DVD
RIPs.  So that seems to be the problem.  It is kind of
strange though.  I have the setup using a jfs
partition and it uses the jfs partition when creating
the recording.
