What does this error mean?

While moving a folder "old-cvs-data", with many subdirectories, to the Recycle Bin under Windows XP…

Maybe each file that is stored in the recycle bin has a "original path" attribute, with a max length 256 chars, and that stores the original path like "Dir1\Dir2\Dir3\file.txt". Maybe if files are nested too deeply that attribute cannot hold the value. But that's just a guess.

Maybe it really is time to get a Mac.
