I wondered if you'd notice this, or if it was an error when copying in to the 
email. Try:

#!/bin/sh
rsync -a /home/mydocs/  /home/richard/ > /dev/null 2>&1
mkdir -p /tmp/backup
export FILE=backup-`date +%Y%m%d`.tgz
tar -cz /home/richard > /tmp/mybackup/$FILE
mkisofs -r -J -o /tmp/backup.iso /tmp/backup
# cdrecord -v speed=2 dev=0,1,0 blank=fast
cdrecord -v speed=2 dev=0,1,0 -data /tmp/backup.iso
rm -rf /tmp/backup /tmp/backup.iso

Simply removing the 3Ds should suffice. Also, use `cdrecord --scanbus` to 
make sure that the device really is 0,1,0
