It works well enough so I didn't fiddle with it. Oh and I should note that on the mediawiki page you note, I am the user "Gadlen". Eric, I use -force-copy just because the docs use it.

Best I can tell from the limited documentation is that this is an option for compatibility with Wikimedia Commons? Is it needed in my personal Mediawiki installation that doesn't link to Wikimedia Commons? Why did you choose to use -force-copy?

I had run into the long-filename problem myself. My workaround was to change the single very-long-filename to a shorter filename. I'll wait a while and hopefully your patch will be in the next version of dumpHTML (for all my nerdiness, I find the patch command a bother to use). Thanks Thanks Tom.

See http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:DumpHTML and download a patch from https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8147 .
