UDF mounting
sudo mount -t udf -o loop,utf8,noatime /home/user/something.iso /tmp/c/

Caution: dont share the unioned output via NFS as it will export the underlying (empty) folder the union is being mounted on.
unionfs
This will export 3 folders separated by colons to appear as 1
sudo mount -t unionfs -o dirs=/live/image/tv:/media/52f6ba34-028a-4e86-8341-1d04e8092af2/tv:/media/aa8686bb-baaa-4458-90fd-07b669d8bede/tv none /live/image/unionfs/tv

This will allow PnP operation in Nautilus (in Ubuntu 11.10 at time of writing)

However there is no mkfs.exfat
