Help with fstab additions

Change your fstab parameters from 
"...loop  0 0" to "...loop  0 1" 
(might work, might not)

It looks to me like a race condition caused by parallel mount tasks.
The second zero allows non-sequential (multiple ) mount processes.  A one disables it.

The missing commas seem wrong, but not an issue here.

I've added these 6 lines to /etc/fstab on this machine:

/home/larry/isofiles/ubuntu/10.04/ubuntu-10.04.02-desktop-i386.iso    /mnt/ubu1004DL32    udf,iso9660 user,loop 0 0

Problem is that only the middle two seem to work.  The first one (or more) show an error on screen and give 2 options before the gdm login but gdm comes up too soon to do anything.  After logging in I find

from processing /etc/exports for nfs.  I don't think this means anythoing about why only 2 of the 6 gets mounted.  Any ideas?
