If I remember correctly du will ignore unreadable directories and files
silently, are you sure that your user has read access to all the
sub-directories?

A less likely problem could be disk corruption.

You could get your sysadmin to run fsck in single user mode and check to see
if anything appears in the lost+found directory.
