Getting false (I think) "No space left on device" errors when renaming files

How are you trying to rename these files?  (If using command line, show the actual command that you are using to rename a specific file that fails.)

 

I've tried a couple ways. I'm trying to reformat the file names of a batch of 7 .mp3 files with:

 

find . -iname "*.mp3" -exec rename '[02-0' 2 '{}' \;

 

It worked for 3 of the files before spitting out the "No space left on device" for the other 4. On repeat runs of the command, I just get the "No space left on device" error without any further progress.

 

But I also tried in macOS (over SMB I presume?) in Finder. Even just making a single change to a single file name generates this error:
