Most likely one or more files were deleted which are still opened by an 
application. They'll still appear as allocated space when using df, but 
because they're deleted they're no longer visible in du - their inodes 
are no longer listed in the directory entries. Restart/HUP whatever apps 
have open files on that filesystem and the space should "magically" 
reappear.
