I second the fact that this is not a problem with video dvds only. I
came across it while trying to install matlab 2008a from the official
dvd.

It automatically mounts as udf, but:

$ ll /mnt
ls: cannot access /mnt/InstallForMacOSX.app: Permission denied
ls: cannot access /mnt/inst_doc.pdf: Permission denied
ls: cannot access /mnt/install: Permission denied
ls: cannot access /mnt/license.txt: Permission denied
ls: cannot access /mnt/mac_install_guide.pdf: Permission denied
ls: cannot access /mnt/readme.txt: Permission denied
ls: cannot access /mnt/update: Permission denied
ls: cannot access /mnt/utils: Permission denied
total 0
?????????? ? ? ? ?                ? install
?????????? ? ? ? ?                ? InstallForMacOSX.app

?????????? ? ? ? ?                ? update
?????????? ? ? ? ?                ? utils

If I force it to mount as iso9660, I lose the long file names. None of
the umask,exec,suid options help.

The only way to install it was to copy everything (as root) to the hard
drive and manually add +x to the install scripts.
