Right, it looks normal. Also, pmount behaves exactly like mount in this case, so
the actual error is not within pmount.

when mounting a volume, the permissions on the files and directories (including
the mount point itself) are taken from the file system of the mounted device. So
if your DVD really specifies an user id of 4294967295 and such restrictive
rights, there is not much pmount can/should do about it. We cannot just alter
permissions at random, other devices like USB hard drives rely on working
permissions.

This error is specific to the DVD you inserted and everything should work with
other CDs / DVDs. Did you burn this particular DVD on your own?
