So the way my Mac's set up is that I have a jenkins user. I open a
terminal window and "sudo -u jenkins build_slave.sh" where
build_slave.sh contains the necessary commands to boot up a Jenkins
build slave and have it phone home.

Are you saying that the user running the script has to be the user
owning the desktop? What if you unset the DISPLAY env var? (I recall
seeing the squeak script checking for this.)

The space that's being exhausted here is the space the JVM uses to
store Java classes.
