Additionally, you probably want -mtime and not -atime.

Some space is probably being eaten by logs... Are you rotating them
properly? Running 'du -s /*/ > du.`date=%s` ' daily and comparing the
output will probably help you discover where the creep is (/home, /var,
etc). You can of course drill that down further if you want (/*/*/ or
whatever).
