Antonio, the right address for AIPS questions is daip at nrao.edu (the
so-called "designated AIP").  I'm CC-ing that address (which goes to all
Classic AIPS developers).

Eric or one of the others can probably answer better than I can, but I'm
sure they'll want to see an IMHEAD on the data, and may ask you to check
available disk space on the data areas involved (I doubt from the error
messages that's the problem, but it's sort of instinctive in me to ask
anyway :-)

PS. CV sysadmins: you can probably close this helpdesk ticket as the
    question is now in the right hands.
