It's been a while since I used k-9 copy (a few months at least) but I never needed that much space in /tmp. Poke around in the config dialogs looking for references to /tmp and change that.

hm... it occurs to me that maybe you're trying to backup from one dvd to another? And that's causing k-9 copy to want to store the file temporarily, thus it uses /tmp. Why not just copy it directly to your harddrive and then perform the burn as a separate step. just a thought.
