IIRC .32 has all sorts of ENOSPC problems; I think this was seriously
tackled in kernels > .32... this kernel was only declared ready for
"early adopters", with an "expect issues" disclaimer.

The btrfs-tools in squeeze is probably so old you may not even have
the `btrfs` binary, but I don't run debian so I'm not sure there...
not really a solution probably for you, but I wouldn't run that kernel
if using btrfs.
