Did you look at FUSE mounting the directory and running 'du' on it?

Re: OpenStreetMap compatible GPS?

Depending on how much OSM you want to do, you might be better off buying 
the car GPS based on its features and get a GPS data logger:

to do your OSM work.  Certainly spending more on an OSM-compatible unit 
wouldn't be of large benefit (and you always have to make sure it 
doesn't log the database-corrected coordinates but rather the sensed 
ones so you're not uploading the proprietary data).  Credit to Russ 
Nelson on both counts from his OSM presentation at DLSLUG.

  Several people suggested that (on-list and off), and I may explore
it some day, but I liked the script approach better.  For one, it has
at least a chance at being cross-platform on the client.  Plus
pretending FTP is a filesystem just rubs me the wrong way.  I guess
there's technically no reason why it can't be used that way, but it
still gives me the heebie-jeebies.  Maybe I'm just getting old...

 It may even be cross-platform, although I
 haven't tried it anywhere but *nix yet.

  I can confirm that it works on Windows XP with ActivePerl.  Woot!
