I've never used a trailing slash with xine and have never had any 
problems playing .iso files with it.

I had problems using a wrapper script so I just set a long command line 
to play .iso files. The main function is to change the yuv_mode for my 
PVR-350 because it works better set to progressive for DVDs and 
interlaced for regular TV (I'm using xv for video out, not the built-in 
MPEG decoder). The compound command line changes the yuv mode, runs 
xine, then changes it back. It's been working fine for months now:

/usr/bin/ivtvctl --set-yuv-mode=mode=1;/usr/bin/xine -pfhq -V xv 
--no-splash dvd://%s;/usr/bin/ivtvctl --set-yuv-mode=mode=0

Note that there's a semi-colon after the %s - that's not a slash 
directly after it . :-)
