(Get the code!)
There's nothing special in my /etc/fstab file. Here's the relevant line:
/dev/hdd /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
And in addition, other DVDs and CDs don't have this problem. Just that one that I burned on a Mac.
So, basically, the Mac put the wrong permissions on all of the files on the DVD.
Don't dismiss this, however, as "just a bad disc." It makes absolutely no sense to burn a CDROM with permissions so that you can't read the files, and so therefore, it makes no sense to mount one that way. This absurd situation is one that should be worked around via, perhaps, mount options (which don't seem to exist).
In other words, the OS should not allow stupid but preventable things to happen, evne when it's not technically the OS's fault. Aside from, perhaps, the execute flag, all other permissions flags on CDROMs are meaningless and should therefore be treated that way (ignored).
