Make sure you put in all the switches:

-R -l -L -J


From the man page:

-l = Allow  full  31  character  filenames.   Normally   the
     ISO9660 filename will be in an 8.3 format which is
     compatible with MS-DOS, even though the  ISO9660
     standard allows  filenames  of  up to 31 characters.
     If you use this option, the disc may be difficult to
     use on a MS-DOS system, but this comes in handy on some
     other systems (such as the Amiga).  Use with caution.

-L = Allow ISO9660 filenames to begin with a  period.
     Usually,  a  leading dot is replaced with an underscore
     in order to maintain MS-DOS compatibility. This
     violates the ISO9660 standard, but it  happens to work
     on many systems.  Use with caution.

-R = Generate SUSP and RR records using the Rock Ridge
     protocol to further describe  the  files on the ISO9660
     filesystem.

-J = Generate Joliet directory records in addition to
     regular  iso9660 file names.  This is primarily useful
     when the discs are to be used on  Windows-NT  or
     Windows-95 machines. The Joliet filenames  are
     specified  in Unicode and each path component can be up
     to 64 Unicode characters long.



I'm not sure what else could be going wrong...
