My first question would be how many files do you have on that disk? If
it's anywhere near 26 million then that may be the issue. If you
estimate that, on average, the difference between the physical and
logical sizes of a file is 2K, then that could easily add up to 50 GB
of wasted space. Maybe you're comparing apples (logical size) to
oranges (physical size).
If that's not it, have you run fsck or DiskUtility?
