Check the mount options used to mount the DVD. If I remember correctly, the noexec option is used by default. (Running the mount command will show all mounts.) You may have to use gnome-mount with the -o option to specify your own options when mounting the DVD. The gnome-mount name page also gives you some options on making sure that DVD always gets mounted the way you want.
