Oh.  I thought those "CUSTOM" entries were directories.  Never mind my
confusion.  

Try to picture what's happening:  It's creating a root directory for
the CD-ROM, and you're telling it to put in the contents of two
different directories.  Both of those directories have a file by the
name of "CUSTOM".  Which one is it supposed to use?  It can't tell, so
it throws up its hands, gives up, and complains.

One way you could handle this is by making each of your candidate
directories a sub-directory on the CD-ROM.  mkisofs has a concept of
"graft points" which may be the easiest way to do this.  The syntax
would be something like: 
 mkisofs -U -R curly/=/disk2/curly larry/=/disk2/larry
