Dsik usage error

  Hello all,
         Can anyone help me with a disk usage problem? I have a disk
partition of 65GB in LVM; df says:

/dev/dm-0             65570580  60494828   1744888  98% /

However, if I use either du or Baobab they reckon the directories in it
add up to 30Gb or so. As it is my root directory, and there are various
others it is a little difficult to get the total, so I booted under
liveUSB and saw exactly the same - 30Gb used.
   So something is stealing half my disk. If I try to write more it is
out of space.
   Any ideas how I get my space back? fsck reports the disk is clean.
   Thanks,
         Bill
