Hmmm, just jumping in here - I figured the problem is more to do with
hardlnks in the path... I've seen a similar issue in the past with Finder
filesize calculations where the total size of a directory which contains
hardlinks may exceed the total capacity of the volume (imagine a 1GB
volume, with a single 500MB file hardlinked 4 times - perfectly legal, but
confusing to Finder IIRC). It's been a few years though, so I could be
fuzzy on this, but we were using rsync and hardlinks to create incremental
snapshots of a filesystem on our nearline storage array, and Mac OSX Finder
- no surprise - wasn't quite sure how to deal with hardlinks.

Or did I miss the point? Perfectly likely...
