Answering my own question here!... well, after detailed perusal of the
AIX manuals a colleague was able to find out that by setting the filesize
field in the /etc/passwd file for users who should be allowed more than 
4 meg., AND by modifying inittab to set the ulimit to 8 Megs, AND by
changing root's, and (I think) the daemon's limits to 8 megs, we were able
to NFS write big files...  the info was in the manuals all along...it just
was not cross-ref'ed properly!
