If this should be executable, you might have mounted the the cd without execute (or was execut_able_ ?) option. See man fstab. (I'm not sitting at linux right now). The point is that in order to execute a file not only the file itself has to be executable but also the volume it is in has to be mounted with this option. Many distributions don't set it by default.
