The depth is not a problem as long as the operating system supports it (don't remember the exact number of characters...let's say...something around 230).
UNKNOWN LOCAL FILE HEADER is an error in the zipfile localfileheader structure. In this case it's a localfileheader id which isn't the standard one. Try to rezip the file with a common zipfile program to get a valid standard localfileheader id.
Although the way to describe it is weird. If the rebuilder rebuilds them fine and afterwards it tells you it's bad, something is wrong. I did some tests and rebuilt unzipped files to d:\a\b\c\d\e\f\g\h\i\j....they all rebuild fine. Sounds like a system problem to me. Maybe problems with your harddisk's write cache. You can try to enable settings->zipsettings->additional zipflush and the full structure scan there. Also try to rebuild to a different drive and check your ide/sata/scsi cable depending on the used harddisk.
It would be also interesting if you mail me such a bad file.
