for dir in $( find . -type d )
do
echo "$dir: $( du -sSc $dir/* | grep total )"
done
Note that this will create problems for files with spaces. So, let's
try:
sh -f <<EOF
$( find . -type d | sed -e '/.*/s//echo -e "& $( du -sSc "&/*" )/' ) | grep
total )
EOF
...well, ok, that doesn't quite work but it should provide some useful
hints.
