You might check the error strings in /usr/include.  I
haven't either of those systems available to me to check.

I can say that a 14GB file may have some issues with the
checksum blocksize.  With the default blocksize of 700 the
file will use some 20 million block checksums which is
likely to cause collision problems. Try using
--block-size=32768  I can't say that is
the problem but even if it isn't a large blocksize is in
order.  Version 2.5.6 will have an adaptive block-size.
