I remember a conversation about this problem earlier and the solution
was that used space wasn't truely reclaimed until all open descripters
to it were closed (or something like that ...)
Try kill -HUP ing the daemons that are logging to that drive and/or
creating files on it.

FreeBSD ('BSD'):
No battles to the death are recalled. It is a small Daemon wearing
sneakers. It
is normally found on Internet servers and powerful desktops, and moves
very
quickly. A kill of this poweful creature is enough to tick off any
sysadmin. It
is highly magical, having the power to serve. It resists DoS and SYN
flood
attacks. Nothing is known about its attack.
