So I've trawled through my highly organised workspace and verified this with some other media - mounting CDs or DVDs seems fine. This one particular disc seems to be faulty as suggested (it was burned on an XP machine using the 'standard' Windows writing software...) It reads on a WIndows machine, but not on FreeBSD.
Thanks for all the help, I've learned a great deal about mountpoints and filesystems, so I don't consider it wasted effort. Really should remember to Try the SImplest Thing First though...
