It's obvious, you have two 'CUSTOM' files. mkisofs will pack all the
files in a single root directory, hence, causing that error. Probably
what you realy need is '-graft-points' to separate each directory into
it's own container directory.

mkisofs -U -R -o /tmp/cdimg.iso -graft-points \
  curly/=/disk2/curly larry/=/disk2/larry
