weird:
bmike1 at MikesBeast:~$ du -s --si -h Pictures/
45G Pictures/
bmike1 at MikesBeast:~$ du -s --si  Pictures/
48G Pictures/ (this must be what the GUI is reporting)
bmike1 at MikesBeast:~$ du -s   Pictures/
46590432 Pictures/
bmike1 at MikesBeast:~$ du -sh Pictures
45G Pictures

So which should I believe?
