Using fileclass?  Make sure you have lots of volumes, set them all to
256 and forget about it.

I hadn't tried setting any node-specific settings, including the mount
point
settings, but I'm starting to work with that now. I can use a wildcard
to
increase every node's mount point setting -- but that leaves vulnerable
any
new nodes registered.

I'm not sure how high I should raise the limit -- raising it to 4 delays
the
appearance of the 539 message, but it didn't avoid it completely.

Or, I should just learn to love the 539 message and treat it like an I,
not
a W.
