Use NTFS instead of FAT32.
The FAT32 limit you're running into isn't exactly 10,000 files,
it's 64K *entries*. Because files with long file names use more
than one entry, the actual file limit is lower than 64K--in your
case considerably lower. If you shorten your file names, you can
get much closer to 64K without converting to NTFS.
