cdfs only provides the 'ISO image raw-copied to the CD' case.
You have an ISO image, so the scripts that have been posted
will do the burn to the CD.

If data files are to be written, you have the order of operations
backward: you don't start with a file system on the CD and then
write the files to that file system, because the CD is write-once
and the file system is not really set up for that.  Instead, you
create an ISO image from the files you care about and then
you write that directly to the CD.
