needing help with godmode space issue

OK, my first time using a Synergy ROM (RLS1+GodMode) and I'm loving the speed! However, I'm having a bit of trouble with the whole new "modified" ext2 /system partition in regards to the amount of space I have left.

I used RootExplorer to mount R/W the /system partition.

Then I successfully renamed /system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip (but kept it in the same folder)

Then I tried to copy one of Lrod0175's 3d minions boot animation (17.9MB) to the same place and got an error stating that there wasn't enough room. I checked the top of RootExplorer and it says that I have 8.00MB free and 321.23MB used.

I only have 41 downloaded/installed apps using 106MB of internal storage (309 MB free). So what's going on here? Where did all my space go?? (BTW, I also have a 16GB SDCARD that I've also partitioned as 512MB as ext3)

I'm probably just being bone-headed and forgot something, or am I just out of luck and am really limited to just 8MB of free space? Any help would be appreciated.

Here's a look from adb shell of my free disk space:

And here's a look from my mount command: (I've since renamed the bootanimation back and mounted /system as RO)
