Filenames too long to restore from checkpoint...

Normally we'd go in and change filenames to handle this on a PFS. But, we needed to restore some files from a checkpoint.  The filenames were too long for Windows to handle.  The checkpoint is RO, so I can't rename the files to restore them. I'm stuck.  Can I somehow get a RW copy of the CP, mount it and rename the files, or is writeable CP only an option from a PFS?  Any other workarounds?  I can't tell you how many times we've had to tell users not to make paragraphs out of filenames...

Just had a thought that maybe I could NFS mount the CP, copy the files onto a linux box running SAMBA rename them, copy them back to a cifs mount, just need a linux box.  Maybe use the CS?

Thanks!
