Seems that you have reached LINK_MAX of 32767
(according to /usr/src/sys/sys/syslimits.h).
The difference of 2, I assume, is one for .
and one for .. "hidden" entries.

As the voice from the GPS navigation system tends
to say: "You have reached your destination." :-)

Re-arranging the content of the disk could be an
option, but if you're using that disk as some kind
of WORM medium (e. g. backup disk), I understand
the nono.
