I can't give you a specific reason, but I really wouldn't hold any  
expectation of undvd working under OS X.

Having said that, I can't indeed give you a specific reason for this  
belief, and I guess that it should, providing all the tools it calls  
also work under MacOS. The only quirky OS X thing I can immediately  
think of is its habit of referring to Volumes as /dev/disk0s3, but  
putting a DVD in the drive here I see you appear to have covered that.  
I don't suppose you've tried /Volumes/D093276 (or whatever) have you?

Asides from that you might try making an iso some other way (Disk  
Utility doesn't accommodate isos, though, does it? How about Toast?  
You can always dd it to file manually, I guess) and pointing undvd at  
it using "-i disc.iso".

You should certainly run `undvd -C` before proceeding further. Is 01  
definitely shown as a valid title when you run `scandvd`, or are you  
picking that one (excuse me) just because you didn't know what else to  
do?
