mkisofs (which is used by xcdroast) will truncate the ISO9660 file names to '8.3' (or 31 characters if the -l option is used). If you are using the CD on a Unix or Windows box, then you will not see these ISO9660 names, but you will see the Rock Ridge or Joliet file names. You can ignore these warnings. However, Joliet has a 64 character file name limit, so mkisofs will truncate file names longer than this. I have a patch to mkisofs that attempts to preserve the file name extension - instead of just truncating the file name. See: ftp://ftp.ge.ucl.ac.uk/pub/mkhfs/testing/README.jext and ftp://ftp.ge.ucl.ac.uk/pub/mkhfs/testing/mkisofs-1.14-jext-2.patch.gz However, you will have problems if two or more file names in the same directory share the first 64 characters. The work round for this is to rename files before running mkisofs/xcdroast Rock Ridge will quite happily work with 132 character file names ...
