Paul, try this: Under smit->user->change/show chariceristics of a user for root, what is the soft file size limit? Been bit by this before. Setting it to -1 (negative one) removes any filesize limitations.

I suggest to create a fs with allocation group size of 64 MB and 131072 bytes per i-node. I don't know any other limitation for AIX to create big files, except the limitation of something like 1 TB which is far from your 50 GB Anyway, why don't you create smallers volumes ?
