Obiconvert error (in the _ecoSeqPacker function)

Someone is getting an error using obiconvert:

"Trying to make a reference database for trnL for plants. I get an error when using obiconvert (see below). Is it serious or can I just ignore? (my embl_last_001.sdx is 49 GB, so something has happened…)"

#Format the data
mkdir embl_database
cd embl_database
nice -n 19 obiconvert --embl -t ../TAXO --ecopcrdb-output=embl_last ../EMBL/*.dat.gz

#But I get an error message
