Is this a shell script? What happens when you run the commands in the shell
instead?

You have enough space, but do you also have enough inodes? You can use =E2=
=80=9Cdf -ih=E2=80=9D
to check that.

Do you perhaps run into other limits, such as open files (login.conf) or di=
sk
quotas?

Another thing to try is use one or more =E2=80=9C-v=E2=80=9D flags in your =
tar command. Maybe
that will yield extra details *why* file creation fails.

Yeah, that should be OK.
