Thanks for the clarification. In this particular case, exceeding the parent directory limit was a side-effect of including a directory of cached file content. This directory doesn't need to be in the ISO image. The workaround you're suggesting may be useful in the future; however, in this case we just want to remove the cached content from the image.
