Very clever, but a bit of a mouthful ;)

Just to clarify things for the original poster, you will probably find a 
simple,

 > du -sh /path/to/directory

is more than enough... e.g.

localhost ~ > du -sh ~/Pictures
5.2G    /home/jonesc/Pictures

if you want something graphical, checkout the application 'filelight' - Its 
quite neat. (available via a 'yum install filelight').
