Sorry "mkfile" is unknown for me.
Have you an filesystem on this image? (ext3)

Have you create only an empty image of 4GB and need help for copy files 
from old image (2GB) into new image (4GB)?

Creat a new entry in colinux.config.xml for new image, such as:

  <block_device index="7" path="\DosDevices\C:\CoLinux\image-4gb.img"
  enabled="true" />

Boot colinux from old image.
Mount your new image and copy all files, but not other mount-points and 
not the proc:

  # mkdir /tmp/4gb
  # mount /dev/cobd7 /tmp/4gb
  # cd /
  # cp -ax * /tmp/4gb
  # umount /tmp/4gb
  # rmdir /tmp/4gb

Stop running colinux and reboot from new image.
