I'm not sure about this error, but the best way to do this kind of calculation 
would be to use density fitting:

df-rhf
df-mp2

This is much faster and requires less disk space. I don't know if this worked 
in version 2006 already, but it should work in more recent versions. If your 
molecule has obscure elements and you get errors about missing density 
fitting basis sets, you can employ the Turbomole fitting sets (tzvpp/jkfit 
for HF or tzvpp/mp2fit for MP2) which exist for most elements.
