the `du` command does not account for hidden files or directories unless 
then are within a nested dir.

Try `du -shc /var/www` for the actual usage by the 'www' dir.  Also look 
for hidden files in the 'Nuxeo' dir, this may account for the "missing" 
files.

Just did.  /var reports 17GB.

I launched the command in / just to see.
