I posted a while back about the same issue. I have the same error with mkisofs.
I have no troubles building 4+ GB ISO images, and burning them, so long as files are less than 2GB. I can create ISO images consisting of 2+GB files from Prassi PrimoDVD 2.0 in Windows. I can loopback mount these images under Linux and access files just fine, and burn them with dvdrecord. This is my current workaround - I generate the iso from the Windows-based app, writing it to my Linux system, which is running Samba 2.2.7.
