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/inst_doc.pdf: Permission denied

?????????? ? ? ? ? ? license.txt
?????????? ? ? ? ? ? mac_install_guide.pdf
?????????? ? ? ? ? ? readme.txt
?????????? ? ? ? ? ? update

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.
