As well as pasting the section out of the log where it says the disc is
full, open a terminal and type
df
and copy/paste the result here
To copy from the terminal window you have to use Ctrl+Shift+C, in case you
did not know.

Are you also new to linux? If so, it's perhaps worth cutting and
pasting the actual commands you type and their output into your mails,
so people can check for any misunderstandings/mistakes etc.

Maybe the motion off command is happening after 2-3 seconds, have you
tried sending the on command, and then relying on the post event
timeframe to capture sufficient length video ?
Or perhaps you can continue to send "on" commands while the IR detects
motion, so that if there is motion detected every 10 seconds, you will
continue to record (assuming your post event video record time is > 10
seconds.
PS, I've no idea about that API or how your IR motion sensor works....
but thought the idea might help
