On an ext3 filesystem, what would cause the system to claim it is out of disk space for a program writing information to disk, when df -h shows ample GB available and the file is being written to local disk rather than an nfs-mounted filesystem?
The percentage "reserved for the super user", perhaps? By default, 5% of ext2/3 disk space are reserved and can only be written by root. You can change this using the tune2fs utility:
tune2fs -m 0 /dev/whatever
