Seeing a few comments regarding this - thought I would do a lil post on what I did.
As many of us noticed we are only 'seeing' 300mb or less available space when we access our USB drive on the Boxee over the network - here is what works for me, hopefully for you as well.

1 - Create a directory on your local drive and put the files you wish to copy to the BB in there.
2 - Drag directory over too the BB on the network - it has to be dropped inside a folder. You will be prompted that the file size is too large - hit ok.
** Notice it created the directory? **
3 - Drag the directory over to the BB again - be sure to send it to the same spot. This time you will be prompted that the directory exists - hit replace and it will copy the files over.

This works for me running OSx 10.6.4 over the wifi and running the latest version of Boxee.
