Hmm. A directory looks like a file, too, and it has a size. Are you
interested in the size of the directory itself (as a file) or are you
interested in the total size of all files contained within the directory?
What are the units in the graph that you are looking at, and is the
directory by itself or is it combined with other items? One problem with
RRD graphs is that everything in a graph gets the same scale factor, so if
you combine something small with something large the small item can appear
to be near zero because other items are much larger.
