do you have softdep enabled? i noticed a couple of time that when i
deleted some files df still reports the old values, and after a minute
or two it reports the new one (i.e. more free disk space) so i think
that that was due to softdep which didn't updated immediately the disk.
the same happens for quotas i suppose...

$ df
Filesystem  512-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/wd0e     10152858   287490  9357726     3%    /home
[...]
$ cp /bsd .
$ df
Filesystem  512-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/wd0e     10152858   291618  9353598     3%    /home
[...]
$ rm bsd
remove bsd? y
$ df
