I think I missed the gist of your problem before.  Let me know if this 
sums it up:

1) You are using NUFA to prioritize the local node access
2) The local node is close to full, but the other nodes are not
3) When writing from that node, a no free disk space error is returned, 
even through there is plenty of space on other nodes
