According to the documentation I've found, the fatx filesystem used by the 
xbox supports filenames of 42 characters:

http://www.xbox-linux.org/wiki/Differences_between_Xbox_FATX_and_MS-DOS_FAT

Are your filenames longer than 42 characters, or are they bombing out at 8 
characters?  If its failing at 8 characters, make sure you're mounting as 
fatx rather than fat.

If the names are actually over 42 characters, then ignore me, and I'm sure 
someone else will have useful suggestions :)
