Thanks for the info Stanimir.
I am really at a loss then as to why it works when I try it from a path
with fewer characters.  Same XML and same XSL files.

I'll keep trying things

While the "normal" maximum path length [1] on Windows is 260 
characters, the Unicode versions of the Win32 file management 
functions support file paths up to ~32,000 characters on all WinNT 
versions and Win9x versions with Microsoft Layer for Unicode.  As 
far as I know and as far as I've tried on Windows XP with Sun's Java 
  5 (not sure for 1.4) it handles paths longer than 260 characters 
just with no problem.
