How long is the deepest path?

I've seen file copying stuff screw up with monstrously long path names

I'm not sure if this is the proper forum for this question, but here goes:

We are storing scanned documents in one folder.  A file conversion program 
being run by one of our vendors is taking scanned documents from a Win2K server 
and putting them into a Win 2008r2 server.  The conversion is just to place 
them in a folder tree that is accessibly by our hospital EMR system.
After placing >1.5 million  files in a considerable number of directories, and, 
the program is now generating an error:  Error Making Directory -Requested 
operation could not be comleted due to a file system limitation."
There is no compression of the folder or files (which is one thing that could 
cause that error).
Is this a call to PSS type of problem?
