i've had a similar problem ... the fix is to limit file names (including
path) to 256 characters ... shortening the file name ... especially the file

 "11/18/98  03:57p  2,216 The Administrative Representative is responsible
for processing financial transactions on the suspense ledgers and financial
reports for Affinity Markets in an efficient and accurate manner.asc"

will fix your problem in a jif
