Can't create new records while hosting

Ok, here's one that has me totally stumped.

I recreated, from scratch, our FileMaker 6 solution in FileMaker 7. This past Saturday, we uninstalled Server 5.5 from the server and installed Server 7. After getting everything configured, and the files properly hosted, I connected to it from my desktop.

The connection (using "open remote") went just fine. I was able to browse, edit records, change account settings, edit field definitions, edit scripts, and delete records. However, whenever I tried to create a new record, I got the following error message: "There is not enough room on the disk to complete this operation. Make more room on the disk, then try again."

There is no way the disk is full. There are 48GB of free disk space on the server. I obviously had write access as I could edit records. As a test, I created a new database with one (default style) layout and one field with no data. I saved it in the same folder as the other database. I was able to create records just fine. However, as soon as I hosted it and connected remotely, same error message.

During the testing phase of the new database, I had it hosted on a laptop computer, and it worked just fine. The laptop was disconnected during the time we were getting the error, so it wasn't a conflict.

After trying five hours of updates, configuration changes, and re-installations, we gave up, re-installed the old database, and went home. Has anyone had this problem, or have any ideas on how to solve it?

Here are our server specs:

Compaq ProLiant ML350

2 Intel Pentium III processors, 1266MHz

1.05GB RAM

61.7GB SCSI drives, 48GB free disk space

Windows 2000 Server SP4
