Again, not being sure which scenarios are failing I don't know if this helps us or not.

FYI.. We need to be careful of resulting file path lengths on Windows
when creating web applications that may result in long file paths in
Geronimo due to a JDK 1.4 bug (
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6182812) that has
only been fixed in JDK 1.5_06.
Fom reading the bug and related bugs' descriptions it appears the
Windows JDK will only allow file names less than 260 bytes, otherwise a
FileNotFoundException is thrown.
I initially ran into this JDK bug whilst building geronimo under a long
directory name (see GERONIMO-1428 for details).
On a related note (not due to the JDK bug) I found that if I installed
geronimo from a zip distribution using WinZip (version 10.0 6685) into a
long directory path, WinZip also has problems:
Error: The system cannot find the path specified.
Cannot create
