Well, I wonder if it once was too full and so they moved it somewhere and either intended but failed to make a link or somehow the link got overwritten so it can't find the stuff. In otherwords, all the files and directory structure had been moved somewhere and there should be a link to it of the sort: ln -s /some/other/place /usr but the link is missing. If so, you just need to find out where it got put and make the link for it.
