Maybe that number doesn't include system files, recycling bin reserved space, system restore points.
Maybe you partitioned your drive and didn't know it.
Can't think of anything else since I'm not familiar with vista, but there's probably a rational explanation.

Try opening Disk Cleanup utility>more options>delete old restore points.
After that I bet the discrepancy will be in the 0-5 gig range.
EDIT: ok, sounds like you're on top of things

Oh, also, it may not be counting hidden files in your subfolders.
