No David, you didn't do anything wrong. What you need to know is that
"1000" in computer talk is actually 1024. If you were to do a simple
'df' you would get the 1024KB listing. When you added the -m parameter
you told Linux to divide the 1024KB listings by 1024 to get the MB
listings. Do the math, convince yourself!
