Do you have Vista? Is it possible you're using it as a ReadyBoost drive???
Other things... Hidden files, and temporary files which decided to stick around.
For the Computer Geeks!
I have a bought a Portable HDD a few months ago to backup some of the movies, photos and music.
Last night, I tried to add more files to it and it says it's full, when the capacity says it's 79% empty. It requests me to do a "Clean up" which only links back to the computer HDD.
Any ideas?

Vista or XP?
Try running CHKDSK

or

Also, how big are the files you are copying across? sure it doesnt exceed the capacity (i know i may be stating the obvious with that)

Running XP.
It's a 680Gig HDD and I've used roughly 200Gig so far (I'm at work so I cant get access to it). So plenty of room to add more files.

Sounds like its corrupted. do a "chkdsk" as Pete suggested, thats your best bet.
are you able to copy a small file...ie a word doc ?

I purchased a WD 320gb USB drive on Saturday.....same issues !
Did a Norton scandisk and surface check seems to be okay now.
Never had any problems with Maxtor drives in the past should have stuck to the that brand !
