You've got a problem around here... Here are my values :

kern.version = FreeBSD BUILT-19950501 #0: Mon May  1 00:14:02 MET DST 1995
    roberto@keltia:/src/src/sys/compile/KELTIA
kern.maxvnodes = 1347
kern.maxproc = 340
kern.maxfiles = 680

Your kern.maxfiles seems far too low.

What is the value of your MAXUSERS parameter in the config file ?
