Here's the working script (Yay!)
#! /bin/sh
for FILE in /mount/disc_images/*.iso; do
DEST=3D$FILE
DIRNAME=3D`basename ${FILE} .iso`
echo ${DIRNAME} ${FILE}
mkdir /mount/new_brighton/images/${DIRNAME}
mount -t cd9660 /dev/`mdconfig -f ${FILE}` =
/mount/new_brighton/images/${DIRNAME}
done
Thanks to Polytropon and Chuck for their guidance.
