I can't test this particular case right now, but I recently had an issue with Windows Server 2008 due to a long filename, that essentially meant I couldn't move, change owner or change permissions on the given file. Unless someone has more info I can test a bit later. Is the idea that we shouldn't allow filenames that will cause issues with the underlying OS (or other people's OS) or something else?
