Please help: can't rebuild database and "action could not becompleted" error

I'm running Entourage v.X on a G5 with the latest release of Panther. I'm
using it to access my Exchange server mailbox. I was away for a week, and
accumulated a bunch of emails; now that I'm back, I'm trying to go through
it. For a while, everything was fine. But now I'm getting some weird
behavior with the inbox. All other folders (whether local or on the server)
work fine. There are now only 4 emails in my inbox. Whenever I change to it
(from being in some other folder), there is a long pause (10 seconds or so)
while the upper window (containing the message list) goes blank, and then I
get a list of my messages and a window which says "action could not be
completed". Once I click "OK", I can use it. I've accessed the server
through Outlook 2001 (running in Classic mode) and also through Outlook Web
Access, and checked - everything seems fine and those clients have no
problem with the inbox. I need to use Entourage though because all my
calendars etc. are in there, and I use it to sync to a PDA. I tried doing a
simple database rebuild, and it got almost to the end, and then said "The
database could not be rebuilt because there is not enough room on the disk
to create the new database files". I have over 100 Gigs available on my
startup disk. What's going on? Can anyone help me make this thing work
right? Could it possibly need that much space, or is it trying to make the
file somewhere else? The Identity database is 2.3 Gigs - not at the 4 Gig
limit. Could someone help me? This thing is killing me. What do I need to
do? I've used Disk Utility to check file system integrity, and used Disk
Warrior to rebuild the disk structure. What's left??
Thanks in advance...
