I reran fsck and that fixed the problem. 

Here is a sample of the errors:
Free blocks count wrong for group #1 (14705, counted=19112).
Fix? no

Free blocks count wrong for group #2 (12753, counted=11404).
Fix? no

Free blocks count wrong for group #3 (20531, counted=17213).
Fix? no
...
Free blocks count wrong for group #11160 (7673, counted=3577).

Then some errors about inode and directory counts wrong.

I also forgot that I have a log of the fsck errors when I
had this problem before.

I am not sure how to reproduce this problem.  It seems random
enough.  The system is a mythtv box so it happens to
poweron/poweroff on a regular basis to record.
