It seems to me that your burn has failed because the ISO file was too big.
 As I think you have figured out yourself.

If you already have an ISO that you have downloaded, then you don't need
to do the mkisofs as you already have what you need.

Anyway, I'm not sure how this hangs together with what you are trying to
do with /home/john/tmp ...

This looks more like what I would have thought you want to do.  I don't
have a cdrecord man page handy at the moment but I think the -overburn is
to do with "burnproof" writers that have an extra buffer.  This would help
if you hard disks are very slow and you are doing other things at the same
time but, all other things being equal, your burn should work with or
without it.
