thanks.
What type of client are the files coming from (Windows, Mac, Linux, etc.)? As noted above, there is a limitation within CIFS as to the file name size, as well as types of characters. If the client device supports a different network protocol (such as NFS for linux, AFP for Mac, etc.) then try using something other than CIFS. NFS and AFP do not have the same limitations.
