We have rebooted the machine, so any processes that might have had open files are gone.
We only noticed this after we went to reriser, although we were not on ext2 for very
long.

This is probably unrelated to reiserfs. Perhaps the files that you
deleted
are still open by a running process? The space will not be recovered
until
the file is closed.
Since the file has no directory entry, du cannot find it.
