Hi Brian,

it looks from your output that your scratch directory is set to use / 
tmp instead of something with lots of disk.  Have you tried setting  
TMPDIR to point to a large quantity of disk and see if this really is  
an I/O problem?  Of course you could also use the command line option  
-d/lots_of_space
