Probably xorriso is not installed. Can you execute this from shell:
  xorriso -version
and see among other lines
  xorriso version   :  0.5.6
(or a higher version number) ?

If not, then install packages "xorriso" and/or "libisoburn" of
your operating system. About Fedora i find in the web:
  yum install xorriso

You may also install GNU xorriso from source:
  http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/xorriso/xorriso-1.1.8.tar.gz
Needed is program "make", a C compiler and a binary linker.
  tar xzf xorriso-1.1.8.tar.gz
  cd xorriso-1.1.8
  ./configure && make
  ./xorriso/xorriso -version

If all went well, do as privileged user:
  make install

or let grub-mkrescue use xorriso where it was built, by option
  --xorriso=...absolute.path.../xorriso/xorriso


xorriso's job is to produce the ISO 9660 image with El-Torito record
for booting from CD, and with MBR for booting from hard-disk-like
devices.


Have a nice day :)
