I have tried several different methods, including the Feb 15 posted instructions by brechtvc. Every time, I have a space issue with the eMMC. The latest terminal output, using the brectvc method is:

debian@beaglebone:~$ unxz -c ubuntu-15.04-snappy-armhf-bbb.img.xz | sudo dd of=/dev/mmcblk1 bs=32M
dd: writing `/dev/mmcblk1': No space left on device
0+467683 records in
0+467682 records out
3867148288 bytes (3.9 GB) copied, 425.36 s, 9.1 MB/s

I've tried multiple BBBs, all of them 4GB blacks and one green.

Any thoughts or ideas?

The issue is that Ubuntu Core 15.04 images are a fix 4Gb size (most of the size is void though). You can build your own image with the bbb armhf kernel and the correct bbb gadget snap as in https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/snappy/start/raspberry-pi-2/ (head over to the "Building your own image" section). ubuntu-device-flash has a way to set the size parameter.

This is going to be less a problem starting with Ubuntu Core 16.04 as the default size would be only a few hundreds of Mb, and the first boot is going to resize to available space dynamically. If you want to play with this, a first image is available at http://people.canonical.com/~mvo/all-snaps/bbb-all-snap.img.xz. Be warned though that those ones are under heavy development and not suitable for production (some breaking changes happens daily) :)
