Unfortunately no... The only detail I have is that the client is
attempting to create a >2GB zip file, and it's obviously not working. I
think what's happening though is that it is able to create one exactly
2GB or something like that.

The only reason I noticed this file is that there are only a small
number of files on the volume, and the vol won't move or dump - and this
has happened once to this user/volume in the past, likely the same
cause. 

Maybe there is a >= 2GB somewhere instead of a > 2GB?
