DUPOPT issue, you gotta be kidding!!

OK On a V5R4 system I imported three DVD-RAM images into an image catalog. These images were originally created with LICPGM option 40. 
I mounted the image catalog into a virtual optical drive.
I loaded a blank DVD-RAM disk into the DVD-RAM drive on the system
I cranked up DUPOPT to duplicate the volume from the image catalog to the DVD-RAM drive.
I get OPT1790 "Operation not allowed or conflicts with another request" reason 06. Reason 06 is: "The media characteristics for the source and target volumes do not match."
As previously mentioned the image were on a DVD-RAM (same brand even!) and so they should fit!
I called IBM and the told me that DUPOPT is not supported for copying disks to DVD-RAM drives. So I have to copy the images to my PC and duplicate them there. Say it isn't so!!
