The next point of interest is why did /home fill up and how can I prevent it happening again? What filled /home up was a file .Trash-0 in /nome/Backups. When I ran rm -r .Trash-0 /home went from 99% full to 11% full! I think .Trash-0 was created when I used konqueror to delete a bunch of stuff from /nome/Backup. In future I'll use rm more.
Thanks again all the help.
