I encountered the exact same problem using mkisofs and cdrecord on a
Linux machine.  Maybe it's cdrecord?  In my case, as well, all files on
the CD were fine except for one directory, which did apparently contain
the correct directory-information (file names, sizes etc), but normal
files were not burned to the CD.

Do you by any chance get a message like this:

"attempt to access beyond end of device
0b:01: rw=0, want=587162, limit=454040"

when attempting to read the file?
