IBM did not design it this way.
When I try it on both 3003 and 3005 systems, I get the proper answer:

	% pwd
	/u/jsalter
	% df .
	Filesystem    Total KB    free %used   iused %iused Mounted on
	/dev/lv02       200704    4980   97%   12428    24% /u
	%

You must be running on an *early* version (pre-GA?).  You need an upgrade.
