Slow down.  Your mytharchive script was trying to burn to /dev/dvd.
The ls output above proves that you don't *have* a /dev/dvd.
There are 2 ways to fix this:

1)  create /dev/dvd as a symlink to the actual burning device  ... 
/dev/dvd1?

2)  Fix the definition of the default burning device either in the 
MythTV setup or in the mytharchive script (if its defined there).

You shouldn't have to change *anything* in /etc/fstab in order to fix this.
