Does the output of your du command change if you unmount those partitions? (It might be an idea to boot into a livefs CD or DVD given that du(1) lives in /usr/bin, so a bit tricky to unmount /usr and then run du) My guess is that you've at one time created files beneath what is usually a mount point. Mounting the partition over them makes those files inaccessible, but they still take up space on the drive.
