opendir(somedir/somefile): Not enough space -- why?

Even though it was a pain in the *ss, I broke up the transfer into
several chunks (logically organized by sub-directories of the source)
and wrote a script to batch the job.  It worked, better and faster than
via NFS.  Mounting the source directory via NFS is not a solution that
makes one feel good - it ended up with errors.
