According to what you posted, there is no reason to believe you are in cause in this disk full situation. The NFS server hosting your home directory and likely many other ones is simply full. You have been misled by questions asking about df and du discrepancy. Here, this discrepancy is expected as du is run on a subdirectory (hour homedir), not the whole file system which what df is reporting. There is not that much you can do outside waiting for an admin to fix the issue as you are likely missing the rights required to identify which other user(s) is/are using too much space.
