I'm confused by this, Dan.  OK, you can't burn an ISO 9660 disc.  So
what format *are* you going to burn?  As Brian correctly points out, the
High Sierra format with Rock Ridge extensions allows for long filenames
and should be understood by all non-braindead platforms.  This seems to
be the way to go.
