With the similar problem of "filename as argument" I've crossed
when I used a long path for file of kind "C:\My Documents\1234.txt"
(I'm not sure that the case was axactly as this...):

during the session it's all OK, 

BUT WHEN I SAVED notebook AND THEN RETURNED TO IT  
INSTEAD OF MY "FILENAME' I've got SOMETHING ELSE?!

I guessed that here backslash, \, was involved and so 
I first copied the file into 
C:\Program Files\Wolfram\Mathematica\4.0\1234.txt, 
so that  I need only use ReadList["1234.txt"].

I'm not sure that this is the case but may be it is clear for our dear
Mathematica Gurus (I mean dear Mathematica, and dear Gurus!)
what is the matter?
