That 260 characters cap is the limitation of Win32 API.  To use more
than that number of characters, the paths being manipulated must be
prefixed with "\\.\" etc.

So I'd recommend bringing this up with Bacula developers.
Note that they do not read this list, so use the bugtracker or post to
bacula-devel.
