I've run into a similar problem.  I used stuff | zoo to back up a
subdirectory onto part of a HD floppy.  The zoo file is about 300K.
This having been done several months ago, I tried to update the zoo
file from the same subdirectory, and got the same FATAL message.  I was
able to make a new zoo archive from the same subdirectory, but that
took a lot more time than an update.  I was also able to update a zoo
archive that backed up a much smaller subdirectory.

I'm hoping that zoox (the multivolume zoo) doesn't have this problem,
but I haven't tried it yet.
