Did you (a) check that the ufs module is loaded even if you get a ufs error, and 
(b) leave off the option or try others?

I burn ufs DVDs all the time, rather than non-standard iso9660 formats, and they 
have always mounted w/o options, as have ufs ZIP media I used for a project with 
OpenBSD four years ago.
