I think I'm having a similar problem: my internal 320GB is set to "smart update" to an external 500GB, but towards the end of the backup SD seems to stall, and I can watch the free space on the external drive slowly fill up. Then SD will end with the error like the one above (no free space).

Having read the relevant part of the manual (omg!) it appears that having several large torrents downloading and/or video conversions in progress in VisualHub might be the cause. If I stop them and let the smart update run again, will that sort things out, or do I need to erase my destination volume and do another full backup?

I guess the moral of the story is have no downloads or conversions running... shtool... because they take so long that I let them run overnight which is when SD is set up to do its thing. Is that a safe assumption?
