I have had similar problems on a disk that the machine thought was 100% full.
I brought it up single user (bod -s from monitor) and then deleted something.
I deleted the swapfile (which had grown large on the optical due to a problem
in not recognizing my swapdisk.  Might be worth a shot, but no guarantees.
