It sounds like you are out of inodes.  df -i will tell you.  If you are, you
can change the default values at newfs time.  Unfortuneatly, there is no way
to do this without remaking your filesystem.  The default is one inode for
every 4 frags, which default to 1024.  I would back of your min free space
to 8%.  FFS gets really poor performance with less than that free.  This
likely will solve your inode problem, as well.
