Okay, I am not sure exactly what is going on from your posting so I'll just ask a couple of questions: Did you mount the cdrom before trying to read it? Also although it shouldn't be necessary did you cd into the root of the directory tree for the book before attempting to open. It is true that listen-up needs some more work and stability fixes and hopefully I'll have some time to work on those before too long. However the errors you got look somehow familiar.
