Dumb question #1.1, Have you set your ulimit.  The system comes 
with it set to 2400 blocks.  You can temporarly set it as root
or can use 'patch /system5 ulpatch xxxxx' to set it permently.
Remember that you will have to re-boot for this to take effect.

I havn't tried to copy a file the size that you are trying but 
have done several at half that size.
