Hallo Christian,
Unfortunately it is a problem of Geant4 itself with the max argument length in the kernel of your linux. As far as I can see you use Debian Etch, so it is 5 years old and the support was stopped in Feb. 2010 (http://www.debian.org/releases/etch/) . in the new linux releases they remove this limit completely.
This problem was also reported on the G4 site with out any solution! except a hint on how to increase the maximum length of the argument list by recompiling the kernel (see: http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/faq/#Argument-list-too-long) so I am not sure if this is really an option for you.
