back up script woes

I have a script that is run by cron to do my backups on os x.

Everything is fine except about 3/4 the ways through the backup it says error out of space even though there is 60gigs of space left and each backup is only 20. Anyone any ideas?

Ok the backup script tars everything in the /etc/* which should be everything then it uses hdiutil to create a blak sparse image disk drive of max size 25gig, it copies the data to teh disk image, unmounts it and then compresses it using gzip.

So any ideas why it says out of disk space when there is loads of space left?
