In your /etc/fstab file, make sure to enable the 'exec' option, so that
executables can be run from the cdrom; thus in /etc/fstab:

/dev/cdrom      /mnt/cdrom   iso9660 noauto,user,exec,ro  0 0

You may also have to add the no_root_squash option to the /etc/exports
file -- I can't remember   thus in /etc/exports:

/mnt/cdrom      (ro,no_root_squash)
