Michael - The factor which may be causing this odd error, may involve
          what is not in your posting: how the raw partition was prepared.
I'm wondering whether it was formatted according to the Admin Guide
instructions: if not, some conflict with cylinder 0 may be inciting the
error.  Beyond that, I'm not aware of a size limit on stgpool volumes.
(Given the size of tapes these days, I would not expect disk sizes to be
an issue.)
