If the name overflows the MAXPATHLEN for the system, then a file of that
length cannot be referenced with a directory path of that length.  You
may be able to work around the problem in a number of ways:

 - If the problem is in the destination path, choose a destination that
   is nearer to the root.

 - Shorten the directory names involved.

 - Mount a mapped filesystem that lets you refer to deeper directories
   via a shorter name.
