ImageMagick can handle file paths up to 5000 characters.

While IM may handle long filepaths, many systems and command line shells do not.

A favorite quote of mine is...
FileNames are infinite in length, where infinity is set to 255 chars! - "The Unix File System"


As such it may be a system problem rather than an IM problem.
