All you told it to do is to burn, verbatim the file notes.txt without any filesystem onto the CD. All CD/CDFS drivers, op systems, etc use a filesystem on the CD. So the file may be there, but not in a filesystem. mkisofs creates the ISO/CDFS filesystem, to various "ISO standards" so you can burn it on CD.
