When I try to load footage onto final cut pro, it says that i do not have enough disc space. Before I start loading, I have 320 GB of free space.
In total, I am trying to load 5 hours of footage.
What can be the problem?

Yes, this is possible. NOTE: Compressor cannot process directly to YouTube, it must first render to the HD, then upload to YouTube. The uploading is automatic if you set it up correctly.
Create your movie in Final Cut X and send to Compressor as usual. This creates a default batch named New Project. In the Settings window, drag the settings for the video you need (there are 7 to choose from) from the HTTP Live Streaming folder into the batch, then drag to a Destination you've created your HD. Once the destination has been chosen, select the New Project batch and choose the Job Action tab in the Inspector window. One of the "When job completes:" actions in Inspector is Publish to YouTube. You enter authentication credentials and define Title, Description, Tags, Category, etc, right from the inspector.
Change the Save to location to be your external drive.
Since 10.1 you can also create a library which can be stored externally. See:

.DV tends to be about 4MB/sec. So 5 hours is about 18,000 seconds, so you are looking at a capture of about 72000MB, 72G so you should be fine..
Are you sure the Capture Scratch disk is set properly? Sometimes it's set to the wrong drive you want to capture to.
Check Preferences if you are using FCP, if you are using FCPX it might be somewhere else, not sure how you set capture disks in FCPX..
