[lug] 'df' returning bad numbers

I just did a major housecleaning on my system, moving about 20GB of data
to another hard drive. Although I know the drive now has a ton of free
space, when I use 'df' it reports a usage of 100%:
Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1 2016016 703012 1210592 37% /
/dev/hda5 4032092 1467944 2359324 39% /apps
/dev/hda3 497861 94114 378043 20% /var
none 63320 0 63320 0% /dev/shm
/dev/md0 76920352 18676320 57462552 25% /data
/dev/hda6 69860376 68615112 0 100% /xdata
/xdata is the disk in question-- you can see the data I moved to /data
takes up 18.7GB. I'm positive there's actually at least that much
space free on /xdata.
I've rebooted and even run fsck on the (unmounted) file system, but it
continues to believe it's full.
Is there a command or procedure I should follow to "re-sync" the
filesystem and fix this? More importantly, if the disk "thinks" it's
full, what's going to happen when I continue writing data to it? I'm
adding about 1GB of data every day from various backup scripts...
TIA,
Jeff
