Thanks for the info.

I ran dselect and updated fileutils (which includes df).  That did the 
trick.  It has probably been at least six months since the last time I 
used df on that machine so I can not pinpoint when/where something 
happened.  My best guess is that sometime during routine patches and 
upgrades, something went wrong.

The good thing is though, my file system is not completely trashed!
