The error explains itself: one or more of the paths exceeded 260 characters.

First, shorten your workspace directory (e.g., change from C:\SomeDir\SomeAnotherDir\Sources\YourProject to C:\src\YourProject).

Also make sure to apply the latest TFS Update on the server, which stretches the limit to 400 characters (in the source control tree, not the workspace directory).
