I recently found I had a very low amount of free space and I lost some ability to remotely use via ftp. I susbsequently have deleted about a TB of space and I am now running at about 75%. Unfortunately, I have lost ftp access to some of my shares. If I try to disable / enable ftp or add another user to my shares, I get the error above.
Unfortunately, this is a system to which I only have remote access, although I do have ssh which seems to have full access to the system.

Perhaps the OS partition is also full. Have you checked for that with ssh?

Thanks, Steve, You guess seems to have been absolutely correct. The system volume was pegged.
Although, not having *any* real sysadmin skills, I was mightily challenged to run this to ground and create a fix. It seemed to be a very odd circumstance in which a USB drive was left in the machine months back with a number of large media files on it. Deleting those seemed to create a huge release of space on the system volume. I'm guessing they must have been cached or mirrored in some fashion on the system volume.

We've seen this before. They aren't cached or intentionally mirrored. The USB drive uses /media as a mount point. If the drive is somehow dismounted, and the backup job doesn't detect it, then the files end up in /media. I think it could also happen if the USB drive is written in other ways.
