That is a pretty darn big file, isn't it? Is this happening only
with these big files, perchance?
the others arn't as big no.

What I am trying to find out is, what permissions and what owner
and what group will write when the file is not there already. You
have not yet told me that. Also, what are the dir permissions?
ls -ld .
[root(_at_)mail mail]# ls -ld
drwxrwxrwt 3 root mail 20480 Jun 5 08:23 .
And do you have some other permissions security stuff running,
such as maybe ACL (access control list) stuff or something?
I don't think so ... how do I find out?
What do the verbose logs say for these failures?
this is the log file from one of the users
