I have this exact same problem.  It is at 4 GB or close to it.  I have 
tried cp, dd, scp, ftp, ...  These same commands work when on the machine 
but any files larger than this also do not show up properly on NFS.  I get 
this message from the commands.


scp: /home/mount/uw714/top/zenez/zen/iso/suse/suse9.3dvd.iso: Value too 
large for defined data type

ftp 
/home/mount/uw714/top/zenez/zen/iso/suse/suse9.3dvd.iso: Value too 
large for defined data type

cp
/home/mount/uw714/top/zenez/zen/iso/suse/suse9.3dvd.iso: Value too 
large for defined data type

dd
/home/mount/uw714/top/zenez/zen/iso/suse/suse9.3dvd.iso: Value too 
large for defined data type

So I do not know what to do to get the large file copied to a NFS mounted 
share.
