Try mounting the iso image file before burning it.  Use the mount command:

mount -o loop -t iso9660 psyche-i386-disc3.iso some_directory

If it mounts, you have a valid image that can be burned.  If a valid image
is burned, but b0rked, I'd start swearing.  It won't fix the problem, but
it will make you feel better.
