You're right; nilfs_cleanered wasn't running.  I've tried rebooting and it 
still isn't automatically starting.  I'm running 2.6.31-rc4 and 
nilfs-utils-2.0.14.  The following is the relevant fstab line:

/dev/sda2               /               nilfs2          rw,noatime              
0 0
 

I manually started nilfs_cleanered and have been running it for about an hour.  
Conky shows disk read/writes of 1MiB  every 2 seconds or so, but I don't see 
any space being freed up.  In fact, df still reports a gradual filling of the 
disk.

This sounds like the nilfs_cleanerd is not running, could you check if
it appears in ps output?

Depending on the version of NILFS you're using, you may be in trouble,
else, just starting nilfs_cleanerd manually should be able to free up
all the space.
