Public bug reported:

To reproduce:
Create a GnomeBaker project  with directories nested to a depth greater than 6.
Deselect the Joliet file system but leave Rock Ridge selected.
Attempt to burn.

Sample output:
Executing 'mkisofs -gui -V Backups -A GnomeBaker -p Brian Pitts -iso-level 3 -l -r -hide-rr-moved -graft-points --path-list /tmp/GnomeBaker-brian/gnomebaker-FE7NOT | builtin_dd of=/dev/hdc obs=32k seek=0'
INFO:	UTF-8 character encoding detected by locale settings.
	Assuming UTF-8 encoded filenames on source filesystem,
	use -input-charset to override.
mkisofs: Directories too deep for 'programming/old/HTML/Abandoned/geocities/debateklub/bio/2000-2001' (7) max is 6.
:-( write failed: Input/output error

Rock Ridge should allow the number of levels in a directory hierarchy to
exceed 8 according to ftp://ftp.ymi.com/pub/rockridge/rrip112.ps

** Affects: cdrtools (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Unconfirmed
