Sorry, turns out that this is a restriction of the HDD's FAT32 file system. In the case, a very poor error message.......

However, there actually is still more than enough free space. Exact wording of the error message is: "Error splicing file: File too large". Since I do not have a bugzilla account for upstream, I'd appreciate it if someone could forward this report for me. Cheers.
