I have seen problems like this with large files on multiple fs's and
ultimately it was a RAM problem.  Scott, can you run memtester and/or
memtest86 at bootup to verify that you don't have bad RAM?  Is your CPU
overclocked?  CPU errors can also be detected with burn* programs
(cpuburn package).  A rare RAM problem can cause bitflips that you
wouldn't notice except in large files.
