A usage error that is not yet catched by mkisofs.
Your usage tries to make a directory out of a symlink.
Remove the superfluous '/' from the graft point of the symlink
and it will work as expected.
It may be that I will remove final slashes for non-directories soon.
Also note that future releases of mkisofs will have a different behavior.
The Options -H -L and -P are now covered by POSIX.1-2001 and must be changed.
I plan to disable them with the one of the next alpha releases and will
give them the new official meaning when the alpha phase of the next major
release will start (e.g. 1.16axx).
