The *.* in the above should be a prepared image of an ISO-9660 filesystem --
not just a set of ordinary files as they come.

You need to make the image using mkisofs. Have a look at the man page.

You might find the example script /usr/share/examples/worm/makecdfs.sh
a useful starting point although not exactly what you want as it  actually 
creates a bootable CD.

If you have an ATAPI CD drive then burncd is straightforward and works well
without the complication of atapicam.
