Do a SHOW DEV/FULL on the disk and look at the value for "Maximum files
allowed".

If this value is matching the number of files in question, then:

See HELP INIT /MAXIMUM_FILES

Then try a re-INIT specifiying a larger value for /MAXIMUM_FILES as well
as /HEADERS.

With a little luck, this will solve the problem.
