Gluster users - Dec 2012 - Manually move data between bricks

I have a distributed gluster volume on 2 nodes. This volume had 1 brick 
on each node and by time it became full. I have added 3 extra bricks and 
issued a rebalance on the volume, yet one of the original bricks is 
still 100% full and this causes the dht-translator to throw disk full 
errors on clients when it attempts to write on this brick as it seems it 
does not take into account the fact that this brick is full.

The question is whether it is possible to manually move data from the 
full brick to other bricks with plenty of available space and if 
possible, how can I do it (I suppose it is not just a volume stop and 
data mv)

A follow up:

I've gone some steps further by manually moving some data (4GB out of a 
1,4TB brick) and then issuing a rebalance again seems to do the rest of 
the job (already working 2 hours, moving data out of the full bricks to 
the others). So two new questions arise:

1. Is this procedure considered to be safe ? ( stop volume -> stop 
glusterd -> mv data between bricks -> start glusterd -> start volume)
2. Could the problem occur due to the fact that there was insufficient 
space for the .glusterfs directory to write data ?

a.
