Yes, they don't, but AFAIR Joliet is a meta filesystem on top
of ISO 9660, so you should still be able to access the files,
but under more cryptic file names.

Other possibilities:

- the CD is not finalized. Finalize it, if you have a CD burner.
- the CD has incompatible supplementary volume descriptors. Try NWCDEX /K.

Hope it helps,
