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').

Being the original poster, du -sh /path/to/directory worked fine for me.
Just where did Valent find this posting so as to reply to it? I asked the question ages ago.

Ah Nigel I was on one of mine google search sprees :) I got stuck with one tool (ncdu[1]) and couldn't remember where I read about it so I searched all about it so this email poped up in my gmail search....
