There should not be any restriction on the path length AFAIK. I have also never heard about such problems. I doubt this is really the problem. Could it not be some other difference, such as the use of special characters in the path (I don’t see that in your message, but perhaps that was just for example)? There can be problems with certain special characters in handling synctex.
