Probably some file descriptor to an unlinked file is still open.
The space on disk will be freed when the last descriptor is closed.
and because there is no file linked to the data, du can't see it.
(iirc MySQL does this in some situaties when using temp-tables or
rebuilding tables)

I have run fstat /tmp and can't find any files that are using
the space that df is claiming as being used.
Thanks, I managed to find the offending process with fstat and kill it.
Now:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/ad0s1e 193M 666K 177M 0% /tmp
$ du -sh /tmp
682K /tmp
