Apple may or may not follow the standards here.......
Your primary problem seems to be Linux kernel related and it seems to be important to verify the filesystem image for standard compliance. If the filesystem is not standard compliant, you need to send a bug report to Apple. If the filesystem is standard compliant, you need to send a Linux kernel bug report. Not all problems seen in cdrkit are present with the original software, so it may be helpful to check therecent original cdrtools first. ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/alpha/ The old mkisofs code definitely did not handle Apple extensions correctly. Unfortunately I am not sure whether I fixed all related problems already. I know that the Solaris "hsfs" kernel filesystem driver correctly ignores Apple extensions, so you may like to test the CD on a recent Solaris version to verify whether there is a Linux kernel problem. Testing on Rock Ridge unaware platforms does not help. I am interested in the filesystem image to check mkisofs and fix it if needed. Could you please send a small example?
