Vuze/MacOS X: Too many open files

1) How can I stop Vuze from reporting the following error: "Too many open files" ?

2) What directory do I need to be in to effectively utilize this command:
sudo bash -c 'ulimit -n 8192; sudo -u username ./azureus' ?

3) Is this the maximum number of files that I can allot to Vuze on OS X (8192)?

*Note that the first 2 questions are more important to me.

I notice that when I type the following command into the Terminal (in Snow Leopard): launchctl limit maxfiles 10200

that it will effectively replace the default value of 256 with the larger value of 10200. However, I still receive the "Too many open files" error and the command doesn't work beyond that value. Is there a reason for that?

I was able to raise kern.maxfiles to 1,000,000 but I still can't raise launchctl limit maxfiles nor ulimit -n beyond 10,200. Is there a reason for this enormous discrepancy? I'm running Snow Leopard with the latest updates.
