[GRLUG] gmailfs question

I mounted my gmail.com contents using, as root:

mount -t gmailfs none /mount-point  -o
usrname=me,password=my_password,fsname=secret_word

It mounted fine, apparently.  i.e., no errors.
And the size matches what I see on gmail.com
when I log in.

But when I attempt to list the contents, using

ls  /mount-point

I get

ls: cannot open directory.  .: No space left on device

Huh?  My hard drive has plenty of space
left.  And so does my gmail account.

Can anyone tell me what this might mean?

For that matter, has anyone else tried mounting
a gmail file system?  What should the contents
look like?

Why am I doing this?  To look for large messages
to delete.  Unlike Yahoo email,  gmail does no tell
you message sizes.
