Which linux kernel, glibc, and filesystem do you have? I'm not a linux 
expert, but I know some old linux kernels, c libraries, and ext2 don't 
have large file support. Perhaps an linux kernel upgrade will solve it.

You could also tried to create a file greater than 2 Gb from the unix shell:

dd if=/dev/zero of=big_file_test bs=1024 count=2600000

If everything goes well, you will see a 2.5Gb file called 
"big_file_test". On the contrary, you will see an error, which means 
that your debian really doesn't support large files. Indeed you will 
need to upgrade.
