This code is one half of a #ifdef/#else/#endif block - the exit isn't in the
other half - I guess it's been left in by mistake after it was changed from
an error to a warning.
Before mkisofs could process multiple pathspecs, this would have been an
error, but now it is possible to have multiple pathspecs that could overlap.

Without knowing what your path-list file contains, I guess that you have
this directory specified more than once.
Try editing out the exit(1); and try again.
Or, you could try the new '-no-cache-inodes' option, although I don't know
if it works with directories.
