 mkdir cd
 mkdir -m 1777 cd/tmp
 mkdir -m 1777 cd/tmp2
 cp /bin/bash cd/tmp2
 genisoimage -R -m 'cd/tmp2/*' -o cd.iso cd

results in these permissions in the mounted cd.iso image:

2 drwxr-xr-x   4 knopper  users        2048 Feb  8 14:40 /mnt
2 drwxrwxrwt   2 knopper  users        2048 Feb  8 14:40 /mnt/tmp
2 dr-xr-xr-x   2 knopper  users        2048 Feb  8 14:41 /mnt/tmp2

Apparently, instead of just excluding files inside tmp2 by -m
'cd/tmp2/*' , the permissions of tmp2 have been reset to 555, which is
neither documented, nor expected.

This can lead to problems when using genisoimage for backups, since the
original permissions of directories with excluded content are not
correctly transferred into the iso image.
