ccCA calculation failures?

Hi all

I'm new to NWChem, and I'm trying to use NWChem to perform some ccCA calculations. I've gotten a few small calculations to work, but they seem to fail for relatively small systems, e.g. C4H8O3. I am running the jobs on a supercomputer with 372 nodes, each node having 8 processors and 24 GB of ram. I'm running off of /scratch, and my disk quota is 4 TB.

This is one of the jobs that failed. Using PBS, I gave it 16 GB of ram, 8 processors on one node, and a walltime of 6 h. It failed at the ccCA: MP2 calculation with aug-cc-pVQZ basis step, with the main error "mp2_grad:insufficient resources". A chunk of the end of the file is appended at the bottom.

I've been monitoring my disk quota, because the CBS- methods in Gaussian are also very disk intensive. However, I have more than 2 TB of my 4 TB remaining throughout the calculation. Any suggestions? Thanks!
