Jonathan,
lvscan is showing you the amount of available space on the LVM *device*,
while df is showing you the size of the *filesystem*. The filesystem
will not automatically expand to fill the additional space -- you have
to do this manually using a tool such as e2fsadm or resize2fs (for
ext2), xfs_growfs (for xfs), resize_reisterfs (for reiserfs), or
whatever other tool is appropriate for the filesystem you're using.
