Hello,
In future try searching the mailing list archives at www.linux-mandrake.com :)
it will save you a lot of time, but the problem is in 
/etc/pam.d/limits.conf (off
the top of my head) and it happens just after you activate bastille supposedly.
One of the lines says
* .... fsize .... 100000
where 100000 represents maximum size of the home directory, so jsut comment 
out that
line by putting a # infront of the *....

Sadin....
