This problem shows up when using ecryptfs.

filename set to: /home/kevin/.config/gnome-color-manager/calibration/GCM - Hewlett Packard - HP Officejet 6500 e709n - dnssd___Officejet_206500_20E709n_20_5B09F0B5_5D__pdl-datastream__tcp_local_ (2013-02-10) [00-56-58] - 00-56-58

This filename is 178 characters long, but ecryptfs can only handle 143 characters.

These lines in gcm_calibrate.c is the problem.
  file = g_file_new_for_path (filename);

  ret = g_file_make_directory_with_parents (file, NULL, error);

g_file_make_directory_with_parents fails.
