The problem is not with the length of the filename. The problem is the total character length of the path including the filename. I don't know the details but the limitations are a combination of directory depth, directory name length and filename length.
Rolf, i assume it works for you because you are saving to root. I assume it is not working for Martin because he is in a subdirectory that has a long name certain levels down.
