[ecasound] problem with path on 2.6.0 and latest dev snapshot

using either 2.6.0 final or ecasound-2.7.0+dev-20090422 I get an error
with input of files as below unless I copy them to a shorter path and
then run ecasound. I have for troubleshooting purposes set the mode
recursively to 777 for the sound files and directories up the hierarchy.

See end of email for full debugging output:

I am a lot confused now, any ideas?
