Right click on iso and choose "write image to disc". That works always for CD, sometimes for USB, not always.
Leme attach the GRUB entry so you can boot the iso without install.
Place the iso on /boot/iso and also extract the content of the "live" folder from iso and copy it to /live on hdd.
You have to do both those steps for USB or HDD or it will complain about not finding something or another.

When I burned the iso to a cd this is all that showed up on it.

I'm afraid I don't understand your instructions. I wanted to try out what I thought was a live CD in a VM. Is this not an ordinary live CD? Usually I can just boot a VM with VirtualBox directly from the iso.
That isn't working in this case. I tried burning the iso (from Windows I know) but it normally works fine for all other distros I've tried. And I get the same results.

I do not think that is the right one, this is
DebianDog-Jwm-3.4-9-rtai-686-pae-2.iso
Anyway you look at it, it is a fiddly image as all PUP's are, and needs to have things in their own places to work. Not complaining, just they are small and light images for a reason, and they do serve a purpose, and they are good at doing so. I never tested on VM, i have plenty of USB drives so i test directly from them, always using this:
liveusb.info/dotclear/index.php?pages/install
well it looks like it is not working till 30.04.2017 oh c....
moving on
If you have a system with linux in it (and grub on MBR ), the above procedure works, and it is not explained elsewhere as i am not a member of those forums.
You are right, it should work like that and in some cases it does, but it has been a pain to make it work from a usb drive as i need to have other distros in it too.
The file listing looks Ok, aside the size of the files, it should be 244.8MB
We should start a new thread as this could be useful for other members.

I may yet start a new thread. but I won't have time to look into this more closely for a few days (or weeks). A colleague was able to get it to start using your instructions. Afraid I really don't understand why it has to be so hard to start it to boot. Is there a way to fix it so that the iso can just boot by it's self on an empty machine?

I don't know if this is relevant but when I could not boot from an .ISO burnt to a USB stick, Google told me it was a known problem and to burn the .ISO on a windows machine using win32diskimager. It worked a treat every time and thats the way I burn all of my .ISO to USB now. You just have to rename the .ISO file to .IMG first so win32diskimager can see it.
Give it a go and see if it makes a difference. You can grab it here
sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/

I will give it a try to explain why that type of iso images has such fuzzy issues:
It is easy to set it to boot the vmlinuz and initrd from any boot loader, but after that it needs the other data to boot, namely the squashfs or any other type of compresed image, but as the drives and CD can have diferent names on diferent computers, it needs to have that image at a certain location as it can not search for it, it has just some locations that it will search and give up.
I have spent plenty of time making it run on the same USB's with other distros, and i never use it, just like to have it for testing.
I have also the debian wheezy Linuxcnc iso set on several USB to boot so if anyone needs the menuentry for GRUB i will attach it.
Last night i did also the install menuentries for wheezy LCNC, but it fails when checking the CD. Needs more work.
This all points to : i do not like to have USB doing a single thing, it has to do more ( have 3 that i carry with me all the time). Profesional deformation from working as an IT admin for way to long.
