Synopsis: Deleting a large file loses disk space

State-Changed-Why: 
From <Pine.NEB.3.95.971114152907.13922C-100000@praline.no.neosoft.com>:

Some process has a file that has been rm'ed open, likely.  The file is 
not actually deleted until the last process that has it open closes it. 
Du will report the space as unused, df will report correctly.

Are you sure this isn't the cause of your perceived problem?
