No space left on device (28) but device is NOT full!



Just since yesterday, I'm seeing this PHP error
on the scuttle installation on a little server here
I have.
Scuttle is installed from the debian repos.
The server is running Squeeze still (I know..
I should upgrade it, but I'll spend a day ironing
out dovecot and postfix when I do, so haven't gotten
around to it).

Now, the device is far from full.
df -h shows:
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda7              26G  9.7G   15G  40% /
tmpfs                 949M     0  949M   0% /lib/init/rw
udev                  944M  200K  944M   1% /dev
tmpfs                 949M     0  949M   0% /dev/shm
/dev/sda1             2.8G   85M  2.6G   4% /boot
/dev/sda5             154G   52G   95G  36% /home

Googling (or dukgoing, or ixquicking)
just shows a lot of stuff about "duh, your disk is full",
but it isn't.
Somewhere, I think on LinuxQuestions.org, I'd
found something about the aptitude package cache, 
yesterday when this happened, so I did
aptitude autoclean
and that seemed to resolve the problem.
Today, however, it is not working.

What could be causing this, and how may I resolve it?
The machine is a 3.2ghz celeron with 1.5gb ram.
You can see the storage parameters from df -h, of course.

Any assistance or guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Taz
