Can't Run Executable Files on DVD - fstab issue?

Hello,

When attempting to run executables from DVDs on our new Red Hat
Enterprise 5 server, we receive the following error.

bash: ./suu: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied

I was told that the problem is possibly related to not having the exec
option enabled in /etc/fstab for the DVD drive.  Could I please get
assistance on what I should change or add to fstab to allow running
executable files on the DVD drive?  Please see below for a copy of our
"df -h" and fstab information.  Thank you - Dave Bacon
