I suppose there's only a need for this if the order you want is different from 
the filename sort order.

If you name the files as you did above, then skip the filelist and just do:

dvdauthor -o iso dvd?.vob

I have absolutely no idea what this is for. The unix permissions should be 
irrelevant here, as long as mkisofs can read the files.

No need for the -udf, that's implied by -dvd-video.

I assume this should work, I don't know, I've never used growisofs manually.

You didn't use growisofs to create the ISO image, you used it to burn to 
plastic. You used mkisofs to create the image. I wonder if the -udf switch is 
causing the problem, I've never used it with -dvd-video, and that's the only 
thing unusual I see here. I don't see how growisofs would be the case of the 
case problem since you pre-created the ISO with mkisofs, but I admit to not 
understanding why you would do it that way.
