I was getting this error when building the OLPC releases.  Turned out I was 
running out of space in /var/tmp where it builds the images.  I have a small / 
with all the space in my /home.   created at temporary build dir in my $HOME 
and used the --tmpdir=<dirname>   option when creating the image.
