Did you try on mounting the dvd on some other dvd-rom player?
I had similar problems. Could not mount the dvd on the dvd-writer that
created it! But it worked fine on another systems dvd-rom.
PS: why do you create iso file beforehand. Growisofs can do that for you
and it maght save you some disk space:
growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/cdrom -R -V "volume name" holding.tar.aa
