OK- figured out the caps thing. I had installed gnome-applets and while 
the daemon is running I have no caps! Won't use that again.
Thanks much for the info Jeff. Those commands are great!
The first shows:  /dev/sdb9              31G   25G  4.1G  86% 
/media/For_Linux


Using the second with "/media/For_Linux" shows: 
 du -h /media/For_Linux

For a total of 11G as opposed to 25G

So my question is what are using the other 14GB that df -h shows as 
being used? I want to free up those Gigs if I can.
