Possibilities: The small files are actually directories that someone has 
open?  The defragger has seen that it already looked at those files and 
decided it won't speed things up to move them (i.e., stupid algorithm)?
Most of the old defraggers had an option to consolidate free space, but
the later versions seem to have eliminated that. Hey, here's a business
opportunity for ya. ;-)

I assume you're smart enough to try it with everything you can run stopped.

Try this:

The CLI version is free.  It takes forever to run, especially with the 
defaults.  But it claims to compact the files better.

This is why *compacting* garbage collectors are good! ;-)
