Is the next session set up to add to the previous (importing the
directory structure) or start afresh (just using up the left over space
instead of a new disc)?
There are various different ways of using multi-session discs.
I don't know. When I created the disc, it seemed odd to me that
the default was "Fixate". ISTM that one wouldn't want to fixate
after writing to a multi-session. BUT when I deselected that option,
a pop-up warned me that it might create a disc which was unusable.
I have tried
# mount -O session=<n> /mnt/cdrom
with <n> in the range 0 to 4 inclusive, and always see the files
from the second session I created, but none of the files I put
on the disc with the first session.

From this am I to understand that you fixated each session?
If a disk isn't fixated, then it can be unusable in some situations.
I learned this in the past.
If you fixated after the first session, you don't have multiple
sessions but multiple writes. This is another issue.
