How are you trying to burn the disk? I have always used a version of Toast rather than Apple's method. To be sure that you are doing this correctly, read
Burning a CD or DVD and review your procedure in case you did something wrong.
The statement about Journier being moved makes no sense because you aren't moving it, just creating an alias.
EDIT: A thought: I don't know if it makes a difference but be sure that Journier is quit when you do this.
