I was never expecting that you understand CLI basics....
This is not related to my text above and mkisofs _does_ give an error message.
The problem I was referring to above will cause that string options will
silently get wrong parameters. And BTW: getargs allows you to contol the
behavior - GNU getopt_long does not ;-)
Just check:

It makes sense to not have a broken feature and to wait for a correct solution.
It is being worked on decent and correct UTF-8 support for mkisofs. This will
come soon. The UTF-8 implementation that is used in "cdrkit" has been rejected
for mkisofs because of serious bugs and because it's creators did refuse to
fix these bugs.
