Thanks for the reply. I should have specified that I was doing all of
those operations as root already, so the permissions weren't an issue.
I had run them at first as my regular user, and I got several
"permission denied" errors, so I canceled that operation and restarted
as root.

This is indeed strange. I've seen situations where "du" reports more
space than "df", when there's a separate filesystem mounted under
another filesystem. For example "df" shows two filesystems,
/mount_point of size 5GB & /mount_point/sub of size 6GB, and if you do
a "du" of /mount_point, it shows 11GB, because it's adding up
everything mounted under /mount_point. For some reason though, your
situation is ringing a bell. If I think of anything else, I'll let
you know.

Well, I'm not sure what the problem was exactly, but I bought
DiskWarrior and used it on the failed drive. That software rocks! It
took my failed drive - one that OS X's Disk Utility could not fix - and
rebuilt it to the point that not only does it mount, but it now shows
the correct free space, which was my original issue with the drive.
Very cool.
