I've got a directory /var/spool/mqueue that is at 3.6G. The problem is
that I've deleted everything in the directory but the size reported
from du -hs is still reported as 3.6G. I've shutdown all potential
sevices that could possibly be using teh directory e.g sendmail,
httpd, syslog but it hasn't helped if I run an lsof or fuser against
the directory I get no connections listed.

"du" won't show you the size of files that have been removed but are still open. Only "df" does that. Check the size of the directory, and look for files beginning with a dot character. Try:

ls -laR /var/spool/mqueue
