Storage Spaces on WS2012R2 Server Essentials drive space error

$

So, I finally bit the bullet and retired my V1 Home Server in favor of building out a Windows Server 2012R2 Server Essentials box as a replacement. All seemed to go well with the install and so I built out a Storage Space (16 TB) using an external 8-bay enclosure with about 14 TB of drives in it. The Space built out fine and I then moved my Server Folders to it which also went well.

At that point, I attached my 4 TB external drive that had my movie backups on it and started copying them over. After about a day and a half it is done, or so I thought. It copied over about 3.2 TB of data and now when I try to copy basically anything onto the Storage Space, I get the following error message:

   There is not enough space on <folder name>

   xx.x GB is needed to copy this item. Delete or move files so you have enough space.

<folder name> is whatever the target folder name is and xx.x is whatever size the file or files add up to.

This then just has an option to Try Again, Skip or Cancel. Problem is, the drive only has a few TB of data on it and still shows mostly empty, yet I can't copy hardly anything to it. It seems to allow me to copy smaller files individually, but any larger group of files, or a folder with larger files in it yield the error above.

Anybody have any ideas?
