Thanks.  I was foolishly staring at cdrecord as the likely culprit.

I asked the author if he could see what I was doing wrong.

I wrote to him saying:

he responded:

I am not sure if someone gets help from this text.....

It does not help me and it does not help you as it mentions meny
things except 
those information that could help you...... you did not even explain
_what_ 
problems you have. How do you expect me to be able to help you?


You did not send something that is a useful butreport and you did not
even 
verify that you did not accitentially call the defective cdrtools fork
that is 
shipped by redhad.

I recommend you to read the man pages for cdrtools and to follow the 
instructions and to try out the examples. They are expected to work.

You did call mkisofs and cdrecord with options that are for
experienced people 
who exactly know what they are doing when they like to overwrite
correct 
default behavior.

Forcing cdrecord to use the wrong device driver may have any result
including 
purple smoke.

Forcing mkisofs to asume a spceific character encoding on a
non-standard 
platform may cause rubbish filenames to be created.

Why do you use these strange options instead of following the man
pages?

Jörg

Between the two of you, I have more options to try.
