Ubuntu Truncating Disk Partitions

I recently swapped out my laptop harddrive for a larger 160GB model. I
first created the partitions I wanted, significantly expanding /home and
/usr/local. Then I copied everything with Clonezilla. After some boot
difficulties, I got everything running.
The problem is that the /home and /usr/local partitions (/dev/sda8 and
/dev/sda9) are sized at 40GB and 45GB. respectively. Both are ext3. This
info is correctly reported by fdisk, gparted, and even Nautilus. But when I
do a df, or try to use the space, df reports that both partitions have been
truncated to 9.9GB!
sudo fdisk -l shows:
Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

/dev/sda10 16090 18804 21808206 b W95 FAT32
df -h shows:

/dev/sda8 9.9G 8.7G 742M 93% /home
/dev/sda9 9.9G 8.7G 739M 93% /usr/local
BTW, I'm running kernel 2.6.24-16-generic and Ubuntu 8.04, Hardy.
How do I fix this, and get access to the missing space?
