I suspect you have turned of the generation of numeric tail names in the
Windows Registry, otherwise remember-diary.el would resolve to
rememb~1.el.  Use regedit and search for a key named NameNumericTail.
If such a key exists and has a value of 0, change it to 1 and restart
Windows.  Google will tell you a lot more about the pros and cons of
NameNumericTail.

Also make sure that you do _not_ have a key named Win31FileSystem set to
1, that setting would turn off generation of long file names completely.

Hope this helps,
