The limit for HFS filenames contained within MPE groups
(/ACCOUNT/GROUP/hfsfilename) or MPE accounts (/ACCOUNT/hfsfilename) is 16
characters, not 32.

But for HFS files stored in HFS directories, the filenames can be up to 255
characters.  So you can do things like
/ACCOUNT/GROUP/hfsdirectory/superduperreallylonghfsfilename below MPE groups as
long as you use an HFS directory to store the long-named files.
