I assume some of the details asked for in the guidelines aren't relevant since i'm using DOSBox, but my DOSBox version is 0.74-3, i haven't changed any of the default settings except for setting machine=svga_et4000, which was required to install display drivers.

I've tried mounting it at d, e, D, E, D:, and E:, this happens every time.

It's likely not seeing the disc's label (THEROCK), so you could try mounting the iso on linux instead and use the mount command on that with -label THEROCK

ISO files support volume labels, if the ISO image is correct it should just work. I'm wondering if there's separate win3.1 / win95 builds and the win3.1 version is just broken because it was never tested properly - wouldn't be the first time.

Information on MobyGames suggests it might be a PC/Mac hybrid disc. You will need an SVN build of DOSBox if a DIR in the subdirectories shows some filenames listed twice, indicating the presence of Mac resource fork data.

That worked! Kind of upsetting that it doesn't just work when mounting the image. I don't understand why, since if i run mount after mounting the image normally it does say the label, so that shouldn't be a problem?
