I use a wrapper script that uses ulimit to allow more file handles. I 
used to get a "too many open files" message when the html files were 
being created - this fixed that problem. I then: nohup ./start_orca& 
I'm not sure if your error message is the same situation.

$ more start_orca
#!/bin/ksh
cd /opt/orca
ulimit -n 5000
/ots/bin/perl -w ./bin/orca -v lib/orcallator.cfg
