You're using File Services for Macintosh, which is now ancient. It uses
the AFP 2.2 protocol, which does not sup****t file/folder names longer
than 31 characters. You're probably seeing files on the server placed
there by Windows folks who can create names up to about 250 characters
in length. Since your server can not display their full names, it
truncates them.

Not sure about the 10660 messages.
You should really consider using some third party software. Mac OS X
10.4 and higher use AFP 3.2, which has some incompatibilities with AFP
2.2. Microsoft is not planning to update Windows Server with AFP 3.2 but
will instead remove File Services for Macintosh altogether after Windows
Server 2003.
