Wrong Files Size Returned

[xavier.bury at clearstream.com]

Hi Dan

i use the "diruse.exe" utility from the resource kit in NT to find 
folder's sizes. Works very reliably and doesn't 
block rev when counting... 

http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/techinfo/reskit/tools/existing/diruse-o.asp

Surely there is an applescript or shell equivalent for osx or unix (du as 
mentinoed in link above)...

cheers
Xavier
