The only thing you're missing in the analysis is that `du -hs *` isn't looking at all the files in the directory.
du -gr ~root |sort -gr |less will be a bit more informative. (You'll probably see your problem files in the first page.) With the currently available information, it looks like you have a "hidden" directory (or file) which contains a pretty significant bit of data. hidden files start with a "." and the shell '*' won't match them. Using du -hs .* would probably show you the problem files as well. -Toshio
