Which burner(DVD burners are dirt cheap...) and what DVD+R DL disk(use DVD Identifier to get ID)?
I have a few cake boxes of DVD+R DL blanks, although they're nowhere as cheap as plain DVD+R they aren't that expensive as you describe them to be.

What error did Nero spit out? Burning failed?

Does it work besides writing double layer? Does it burn anything else?

You got a dud - it happens. I've read some pretty bad reviews of Pioneer's quality control of late. You could try updating the firmware, but there is no guarantee it will have any effect.
