Perhaps you can give us a few more specifics about your system, and your test methods.
It seems that there is a filename limit of 226 (?) characters, and a path limit of 255 characters on FAT32 filesystems (although brief googling shows some inconsistent data). In any case, there should be a specific error code - it would be good to see if this makes it through back into python, and then ensure we are doing appropriate exception catching.
