much easier:
mount -o loop /cd/image/file/here.iso /cdimage/mount/dir/

xcdroast hasn't seemed to like iso images unless they have the extension .raw 
(in earlier versions)
now, (.98 releases) just go to create cd and chose write tracls, then select 
the iso from the layout tracks, accept it then switch back to the tabbed write 
tracks menu, and burn it. (disclaimer: MUCH easier if Xcdroast is sitting up in 
front of you to understand, and assumes the iso images are in the directorys 
xcdroast is setup to use)
either that or use:cdrecord -v dev=0,0,0 speed=x iso.image (after checking 
options of course)
