OK, this led me to my answer... :-)  I had never really paid a whole lot
of attention to holdingdisk :-)  I noticed it was going to /var/tmp,
which is mounted on a filesystem that doesn't have a whole bunch of free
space.  So I created /hold and mounted it where I do, and changed
holdingdisk appropriately.  That ought to take care of it... :-)
