How many connections and durable queues do you expect to have? Each 
durable queue uses 4 file handles at least (depending on configuration, 
and assuming you are using the qpidcomponents.org store plugin). Each 
connection will also use a file handle.

Is it possible for example that you have e.g. stale queues that are no 
longer needed but taking up file handles?
