Well, there could be many different things wrong, you might want to look into the following:
1. Check that the size limit for attachment actually is 1MB or whatever you set it to. And note that you set that in the Filemanager settings area. Make sure that you've set the specific size limit for Attachment and not just the "general" one.
2. Note that any limits set for the standard Upload module don't apply, and that Filemanager/Attachment has conflicts with Upload and you need to turn it off.
3. Check your PHP.ini settings. Either you or your web-host may have a more restrictive setting than what you want in Drupal. Drupal doesn't/can't override server-wide settings.
4. Make sure you have enough disk space for the files you're uploading.

That's just the basics, I'm sure if you look into your server's configuration far enough you'll find the problem.
