Well, that rules out blank disc and some other stupid mistakes then.  And 
googling those strings turn up various references to UDF, but none to ISO 
9660 (NetBSD newfs_udf was even the second hit), so that should narrow it
down a bit more.

Hmm.  Could it be one of those incrementally written -RW discs?  (That is 
also UDF, right?)  Are those supported?  Just throwing out some guesses..
