be careful which you are looking at for directory size:

ALLOCATED_SIZE "The number of bytes that have been allocated for this object."
DATA_SIZE "The size, in bytes, of the data in this object. This size does not include object headers or the size of extended attributes associated with the object."

(trying my best to get the right words)

I believe for directories the size does "not reset" when you remove files from it.
I recall a conversation on this list discussing similar things and that you had to delete the files then delete the directory and recreate it to "reset" the size. not sure which of the two above that is though.
(i think I got it right)

as for the email subject, the data is gathered ever time you run it.
it is not "stored somewhere" like the data in QAEZDISK (RTVDSKINF)

Glad it's Friday,

I have a ifs directory with a lot of files, and removed many pages worth,
but the data_size number hasn't changed.

I also have a directory that is currently empty, but shows 44GB in data_size
