This is a known issue with 10.11 (radar 22356577). The bug goes latent when
building under the Apple
sandbox which prevents the path from going beyond the POSIX limit. Currently
the heavily recursed
subdirectories have to be deleted with somehing like...
while [[ -d confdir-14B--- ]] ; do
if [ -d confdir-14B---/confdir-14B--- ]; then
mv confdir-14B---/confdir-14B--- confdir-14B---.n
rmdir confdir-14B---
mv confdir-14B---.n confdir-14B---
else
rmdir confdir-14B---
fi
done
