That error message is generated by the client with it tries to examine
or open the file to be sent to the server. Try doing a "stat <filename>"
on the file that is failing and see if that provides any useful
information about the file.

I think the error is generated when trying to access a file that
is larger than a 32-bit file offset can handle. In this case the file
should be opened with O_LARGEFILE set. However, based on your previous
messages, I don't believe this is the case. Is a copy of the file
already checked in? If so, what is it's size on the server?

Right now I would be inclined to think that there is something corrupted
in the filesystem for the file you are trying to check in.
