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.
