If you cannot get rid of the automounter that easily, try whether it helps

<H2>ISO 9660 Rock Ridge Filesystem Manipulator for Linux</H2>

<P>
<H2>Purpose:</H2>
xorriso maps file objects from POSIX compliant filesystems
into Rock Ridge enhanced ISO 9660 filesystems and allows
session-wise manipulation of such filesystems. It can load the management
information of existing ISO images and it writes the session results to
optical media or to filesystem objects.
