Perhaps some hidden (.*) files or directory somewhere.
I usually start at the top:
# du -shc /*
Then work my way down the branches that are the heavy hitters:
# du -shc /home/*
When you get to a directory that doesn't add up, there are probably some
hidden files/directories in it:
# du -shc /home/myacct/.*
