It must be a sparse file, to blow up like that when copied. Compare ls -lh nohup.out with du -hs nohup.out, if they differ significantly, nohup.out is sparse.
As for why nohup.out is sparse, have you been truncating the file while its still live? This will cause large amounts of empty space at the beginning of the file since the process will continue writing at the "end". They won't be stored on disk, just assumed to be there, until you copy it.
That problem will need to be taken care of before you can copy the file.
