With the latest TOSEC several rom names are quite long. For example
RomVault/DATRoot/TOSEC/Apple$ grep "rom name" * | sed 's/[^"]*"//' | sed 's/".*//' | grep '.\{200\}'

As a workaround I've been manually editing the DAT and making the filenames shorter. It's a bit of trial and error to find them all. Would be better if the software handled longer names more gracefully.
I'm using samba for storage. That might be a contributing factor.
