It might make more sense to have two limits.  One for fred which controls
the datastore and one for fproxy that controls temp storage usage alowing
us to place temp where it makes sense.  After all fred and fproxy work at
quite different levels and limiting them with one parm can cause unexpected
results.

ie.  I have gigs free on my box and a 1G datastore why does downloading a 
600M file fail?

ie.  Why does my datastore only hold a day or so of data (image a temp file
leak...)
