Are you missing space or you just want to know what Apple is classifying "Other" as?

In Activity monitor, the Disk Usage section shows the correct info?

Not to tread-jack the OP, but I'm actually curious as to what the "Other" is classified as I have 81.57 GB of other. Taking a few filetypes I assume the OS won't know how to classify, I can only get about ~ 10-12 gigs accounted for.

I have no idea. I went looking for answers when that is what I thought the OP meant. I could not find much, but gave up because my HD usage matches up with what I'm seeing in Activity Monitor and the daily.out cron task results, i.e Disk status:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/disk0s2 465Gi 122Gi 343Gi 27% /

Other can be whatever. Its just the System Profiler cannot identify what it reads.
