Another possibility to look into is that there might be files under your
mount points. For example, you might have saved files under /usr on
your root filesystem, but later mounted a /usr filesystem on top without
deleting the files in the original filesystem. The only way that I know
of to check that would be to check one filesystem at a time in single
user mode, or from a live CD.
