I seem recall something like this a while back as well. Something tells me
it may have to do with Firewire or hard disk drivers/formatting. Older HFS
formatting had a file size limit of 2GB. What OS did you use to format the
Firewire drives? Did you use Apple HD Utilities or a third party (like Hard
Disk Speed Tools?

The fact that you have tried with multiple files and it keeps getting stuck
at the 4GB limit while transferring implies a driver/formatting issue, not
file corruption.
