Yeah, on my system it just skips the long-named files. If you go to
that host's page and look at the errors, you can see that it skipped the
files. Unfortunately, this is not shown on the host summary page...

Not sure about that one. I guess you could remove the host and all of
its backups completely, but you'd only want to do that if you don't
already have any full backups.

On Linux, anyway, it looks like there's a "max verbosity" setting you
can put into rsyncd.conf. It defaults to "1" so try:
max verbosity = 2
and see if that helps. If not, go to 3 or higher (I'm not sure what the
highest allowable value is).
