I experienced the same problem on i386 (32 bit) running for qemu(ARM). The following resolved the problem:
in the file qemubuilder.c, function create_ext3_block_device, I replaced
the size of the requested block to 10^28 instead of 10^30.
thus:
--- cowdancer-0.53_orig/qemubuilder.c 2009-03-16 12:21:42.000000000
+0100
+++ cowdancer-0.53_NEW/qemubuilder.c 2009-04-04 16:12:31.000000000 +0200

Now, qemubuilder --create runs happily.
