OpenBSD's tar utility doesn't allow writing in any format which can handle that long a name (reading is ok though). Max 100 chars for the filename part, 256 the whole path. You can use gtar from packages. Or if you don't need a tar format file, pax with -x cpio copes with longer names. -- Please keep replies on the mailing list.
