Comment (by daira):

 This may be a result of the length of the path name; Windows APIs
 [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa365247%28VS.85%29.aspx#maxpath
 do not normally accept paths longer than 260 Unicode characters], unless
 the "\\?\" prefix is used. The path in question has 262 characters.

 Most Windows software doesn't use that prefix and just breaks on long
 paths. I have never understood the motivation for the design that supports
 longer paths but requires you to jump through an obscure hoop to use them.
