Also, how are you mounting the files? I think Samba has a 255-character limit as well...

I'm mounting them with Apple's version of Samba.

Meanwhile, I tried to make the tar file on Mac and it's currently unpacking on Windows. It will probably be another hour before I know what may or may not have failed. So far, tar has given me errors on files that had accents in their characters, but is otherwise working. It looks like I need to debug my perl script a little more.
