My college roommate (I think he may even lurk here on the list) wrote just
the program you're looking for. Try multicd:

Description: Backup your data to CD-R/CD-RW
multicd provides an easy way to backup a large number of files to multiple
CDs. Give multicd the files/directories you want backed up and it will
create as many CDs as it needs to, prompting the user to put in a new disc
whenever needed. It can be configured to run in a multi-threading mode,
where it will burn one image to a disc while it is copying files to
another image. This feature can be disabled for slower machines.
