We know - Jordan and I ran into this during the 2.0.5 release cycle, which meant a sudden change to the ports structure (it used to have a directory `.all' which had to be changed to `All' I seem to remember). mkisofs is a real mess, and probably needs to be thrown out and re-written from scratch, but seeing as how that is unlikely in the extreme, I believe that people at Walnut Creek (who have a slight vested interest in making it work) are looking at this...
