"The number of folders in for example the pose folder might be affecting the length of the folder name being displayed?" Yes, exactly right. It seems (and I'm going from others' experiences here) that Poser 4 has two limits on the number of sub-folders you can have in any library. The hard 256 limit, first of all; and secondly, a fixed amount of storage which holds all the folder names. So far as I know, nobody has gone to all the trouble of counting up the characters to see what this limit is. :) There are a variety of answers to this, not counting 'upgrade to Poser 5'. :) You can simply move stuff you aren't using somewhere else, then move it back as and when you need it. Pbooost (in the Marketplace) does this for you, by allowing you to set up 'banks' which you can switch between. Pose files, especially MAT poses are often the biggest culprit; MAT poses hadn't been invented when P4 came out, which is why it has no way of saving them. You can move poses to your camera library, which is usually relatively empty, and change the PZ2 extension to CM2; they'll still work. I use a combination of methods 1 and 3.
