You will find most of the required files if you mount the iso and pass the mount point with --scan, passing the iso file finds 0 files. Using --scan causes jigdo to not ask for further file locations, and only the last instance of --scan is used. My tests show a better hit rate using the mounted iso than using the cache. Ideally there would be some way to pass multiple file locations on the command line so the iso mount point and the cache could both be checked. Hmm, I think I feel a wishlist bug report coming along.
