I suspect at least some hosts OR some backups are correct, or else OP 
wouldn't have anything in the pool. If you find the problem affects all 
hosts (the du command discussed previously will tell you that), then you 
might want to look at one individual host like this:
du -sm /backup/pool /backup/cpool /backup/pc/host1/*

This should be a *lot* quicker than the previous du command, and also 
should show minimal disk usage for each backup for host1. It is quicker 
because you are only looking at the set of files for the pool, plus one 
host.

PS, at this stage, you may want to look at the recent thread regarding 
disk caches, and caching directory entries instead of file contents. It 
might help with all the directory based searches you are doing to find 
the problem. Long term you may (or not) want to keep the settings.
