Right. somehow a video file got chunked in there with that name. Don't 
ask me how. Here's what I get from the commands (so helpful!). As you'll 
see, /media/For_Linux has 11GB used according to the du command but 25GB 
according to the df command.

brianokeefe at ubuntu:~$ sudo du -h --max-depth=1 /media

4.0K    /media/sda9
22G     /media/Tarman

11G     /media/For_Linux
39G     /media
