I had a same sort of problem with a ext3 partition and I found the
solution in removing al the"hidden" files that were made by OS X client
that connected using SMB.
Apperently this typical "hidden" OS X files took al the space.
For example:
I created a file on my OS X client called test.txt. OS X created also a
file called ._test.txt
Since I deleted the file test.txt on my YDL machine, I didn't delete the
hidden equivalent ._test.txt
When I manually deleted all the files starting with " ._" I got all my
space back.
I don't know which version of OS X I was running, but I'm sure I ran YDL
3.0.1 on my server.
Hope this'll help, good luck,
Peter.

When you "deleted" the 4.3 GB, are you sure it's really gone? Did it
maybe get moved into a trash-bin of some kind, where it's still
taking up space? (look for a directory called ".trash" or something
like that...) You might try the UNIX "find(1)" utility to look for
the "deleted" files by name. If you can find them, they weren't
really deleted.
Nice thought, but I have another twist to it: might the files have
been hardlinked someplace else? If there are two files linked to the
inode, and you delete one, it doesn't delete the other, and release
the inode. Or something like that.
