Any guidance on this would be much appreciated. I don't know whether my problem lies with NSString, NSFileManager, the fact that the CD is in ISO 9660 format or a simple misunderstanding on my part of the meaning of 'case insensitive'.

Your misunderstanding is of the meaning of "filesystem". A filesystem is what you're referring to as the "format" - it's a property of the disk volume, not of the OS. Mac OS X is neither case sensitive nor insensitive, it simply passes strings to the filesystem driver. It's the driver that decides whether "README.TXT" and "readme.txt" refer to the same file or not.
