Check out the loop option to the mount command. You should be able to
mount the image using the loop device then burn the contents to any CD
you choose. The mount command will look something like,

# mount the_udf_imagefile /mnt/a_mount_point -t iso9660 -o loop

I'm not 100% sure of the syntax but I do remember playing with this
myself a while back. HTH
