Well... back to the issue at hand. :0)

What do you get from this command?

[timh@r2d2 timh]$ df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hde5              13G  1.8G   10G  15% /
/dev/hdf6             9.8G  794M  8.6G   8% /backup
/dev/hdf5             9.8G  438M  8.9G   5% /home
/dev/hde7             4.9G   34M  4.7G   1% /root
/dev/hdf7             7.8G  213M  7.2G   3% /software

It will tell you how big your partitions are, as well as how much space
is left.

Is your /home actually 15GB or something else?  Using that command will
tell you that.

Another thing I would suggest would be tar the files up, then copy the
tar to the machine, and then untar it.  You could run the command
yourself, or write a simple script to create the tar of the /home, copy
it to another machine using something like scp, then untaring it.  That
would be your choice.
