dunno much about (mac)fuse internals but maybe this general os-header
can be of help:

/usr/include/sys/syslimits.h:83:#define NAME_MAX                  255   /* max 
bytes
in a file name */
/usr/include/sys/syslimits.h:91:#define PATH_MAX                 1024   /* max 
bytes
in pathname */

(there are other /usr/include/**limits.h as well)
