You are probably running into limitations with shell globing. Things like expanding a * to a set of files is limited in bash.

The thing to do is change the way you produce your file sets to a more appropriate method. The right tool for the job will not have limitations in this area. Using rsync is the first thing that comes to mind, or using one tool to generate a list and then iterating over it is another depending on your scenario. If you want more specific advice you will have to explain your situation more fully.
