The error is what it says: the file name (rather than the full path) is too long for your file server. It sounds like you're running kfs, which is the oldest and most restricted of our general purpose options. Long-term, I suggest migrating, although if you're on a single-system setup and already have data you care about, that can be a pain. In the short-term, check out lnfs(4) to get around this issue.
