Having trouble using the os9 tool on Unbuntu 18.04.

The tool tells me the 720k floppy is full when there is only 80k of 
files listed.

$ os9 free ~/Projects/OVCC/CoCo/dsks/ANSIFRONT.os9

"NitrOS-9/6809 Level 2" created on 05/29/2019
Capacity: 720KB (2880 sectors) 1-sector clusters
0 Free sectors, largest block 0 sectors
Free space: 0KB (0 bytes)

$ os9 dir -e ~/Projects/OVCC/CoCo/dsks/ANSIFRONT.os9

So at the moment I can only copy a few files back and forth at a time.

Is this a known issue or do I need to use certain options?
