Thanks to all that have replied...
Reserved Space is at 200M only. Plus the 300M of wasted space, leaves me still
with 1GB or so unaccounted -- this is about 30% of the partition. :-(
I also had rebooted the server already and forced and fsck on reboot. It
didn't help. :-( :-(
Maybe there's a problem with df because dumpe2fs is showing free blocks whereas
df (even without the -h parameter) is showing 0. When I get the chance, I'll
try to backport a newer version. The server by the way is running Ubuntu 8.04.

Mike,
There's a reserved block count in the dumpe2fs output that you can
check to see how much space is kept available for root to use for
maintenance and elbow room. This is usually set to 5% of actual
partition size and can be adjusted using tune2fs. Check out the -m
(percent) and -r (number of blocks) options of tune2fs in the man
page.
