It doesn't really sound like it, but I've been dealing with that a lot lately. I usually use Buddy to confirm the existence of the file, then open it with fileIO, and Buddy will return false if the path name is too long, even if the file is there.
I don't remember what the exact length is--it's different on Windows and Mac, I believe, but it's around 100 characters.
