I guess you mean the hurd-data/ dir you gave to jigdo-file below?

By specifying --label Name=/path you are saying "/path contains a
directory structure which is available exactly like this from one or
more servers on the internet". If the data on the hurd CD isn't
available like that, the whole thing will break.
You want to use "--label Debian=/path/to/my/local/debian/mirror". It
is necessary to have a local Debian mirror.

As of 0.6.6, the default actually works: If the entry doesn't start
with http:/ftp:, it is considered to be an URL that is relative to the
URL of the .jigdo file.

Are the files on the hurd CD available from a mirror? If yes, you need
to pass a local copy of that mirror to the make-template command. If
that mirror is not the normal Debian archive, you should be using a
label that's different from "Debian".
Have a look at the EXAMPLES section of jigdo-file(1) or
<http://atterer.net/jigdo/jigdo-file.html#AEN628> for some more info.

Don't pass to "jigdo-file make-template" the contents of the mounted
CD, pass to it an exact local copy of e.g. a Debian FTP mirror. That
way, the data of any files that are on the CD but not in the mirror
will end up in the output .template file.
Sorry for the short answer, I'm suffering from RSI ATM.
Cheers,
Richard
