P4: can add files but cannot submit them

I'm trying to add a library to my project and commit it to perforce, but some files cannot be submitted. I can mark the files for add and that works fine, but when I try to submit I get several errors similar to this:

open for write: mr/trunk/program/unitybranch/mr_unity5_0506/assets/ktplay/editor/xuporter
/mods/plugins/snsplugins/ktplaypluginweibo/weibo_sdk_3.1.3/weibosdk.bundle/images
/timeline_relationship_icon_addattention%403x.png,d\t6056t842881.tmp: The system cannot 
find the path specified.

Submit aborted -- fix problems then use 'p4 submit -c 30175'.

Some file(s) could not be transferred from client.

I've checked and rechecked and the files definitely exist.

It turns out we were hitting the path length limit in Windows with some of the files. There's a Knowledge Base article about it here with some potential solutions:

For us the solution was to move the entire project to cut around 20 characters from the base path.
