My bad....

"du -hs /home/*"

df : Disk Free
du : Disk Usage

-h : Human readable values
-s : Summery (total all subdirs)

eg:
~]$ sudo du -hs /var/*
0       /var/adm
264M    /var/cache
0       /var/crash
114G    /var/data
20K     /var/db
0       /var/empty
0       /var/games
0       /var/gopher
0       /var/kerberos
1.4G    /var/lib
0       /var/local
0       /var/lock
697M    /var/log
0       /var/mail
0       /var/nis
9.2G    /var/openebs
0       /var/opt
0       /var/preserve
0       /var/run
2.6M    /var/spool
8.0K    /var/tmp
0       /var/var
0       /var/yp
~]$

would indicate /var/data is where all my disk space has gone
