/tmp looks awfully small!!

Take a look at this technote for a potential solution:

http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH189386

NBU uses /tmp as temporary space to extract files.

Your swap partition (mounted to /tmp) looks way too small (500 MB):

swap                  524288     592  523696     1%    /tmp 

See in this TN how to specify a different TEMPDIR variable prior to installation:  http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH189386 

.PS: I hope you are installing a media server here and not a master?
It seems that this is a database server - not suitable to be a NBU master server.
