Just a little note:

Make sure you're mounting the ISOs as "-o ro" to prevent
write access to them. If users don't have +w access to
the mounted directories, you can leave out this step.
Depending on the permissions used, this might corrupt
(or at least change) the image files which may not be
desired.

If you want to omit one external program call (one per
iteration step), use DIRNAME=${FILE%.iso} instead of the
`basename ${FILE} .iso` - although it's more obvious what
DIRNAME gets designated to. :-)
