Hi and welcome to the board.

1.022Go should be enough.

Are all 3 preferences consistent with allowing at least a Go?
Use no more than x GB
Leave at least x GB
Use no more than xx% of total space

You may need to increase the % figure or reduce the 'Leave at least' figure

Have you already completed models?
Climate keeps a lot of data on the disk.
to check for dead or complete models:
Look in your BOINC directory (normally in program files if you're using Windows)
You'll see a projects folder.
In that folder there is a climateprediction.net subfolder.
Inside that are your models.
The current model shows as two files and a folder:
one .xml file, one .zip file and a folder with the same name.
I'm not sure about dead models, but a finished model will just have the folder with a lot of zip files in it.
What I do:
When a new model has sent its first trickle and the previous model doesn't show in the work tab in the BOINC interface (that's to make sure) I move the completed model to a backup I keep on another disk.
That frees up space for BOINC (you can see that in the disk tab) and keeps the zipped files in case they're required for further studies.
You can also look at this <a href="http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/forum_thread.php?id=2581">thread</a>.
