I would suspect that you are running into filename/filepath length limits. Perhaps you could check the full path. Under Windows for example, start from the root of the drive that you are exporting to disk on. An example might be:

C:\Users\<your name>\Documents\2023\My Calibre Files\Calibre_Save_to Disk\The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins\2 - Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins\Catching Fire - Suzanne Collins.azw3

You might also want to post the template you are using for Save to Disk. A sample template might look like:
Code:
{author_sort:sublist(0,1,&)}/{series:||} {series_index:|[|] - }{title} - {authors:sublist(0,1,&)}
Basically, this saves to disk in a directory based on the author sort for the first author in the list and then adds series [series index] - title - first author in the list. If the series has no values, you will get title - first author in the list.
Quote:
Collins, Suzanne/The Hunger Games [2] - Catching Fire - Suzanne Collins.azw3
Collins, Suzanne/The Hunger Games [3] - Mockingjay - Suzanne Collins.azw3
Andrews, Mary/The Last Centurion - Mary Andrews.azw3
