I have recently noticed that the hda partition is full. The problem is that I
can't see where the space has gone. From the du listings, I can account for
maybe 70MB on hda, but nowhere near 250MB.
I would be grateful for any help or suggestions.

When this happens to me it's usually because I've accidentally copied files to the root partition before mounting another file system. i.e. There may be files 'under' one of your mount points that you cannot see because you've mounted the file system on it.
You should be able to check by rebooting into single user, unmounting /home, /usr /tmp and /var, and checking that there are no files in the mount points themselves.
