It generates the number at the end, and it sounds like the result is something else.

I put in the above command as you suggested, and the output i got was none.
Literally just the word none.

Seems like the ls output is different from expected for some reason. If you type something like this:

    ls -l apps/lang/s*

what is the output of that? It should create a list like this:

    -rw-r--r-- 1 Name None 3127 Feb 24 10:14 apps/lang/slovenscina.lng
    -rw-r--r-- 1 Name None 9349 Feb 24 10:14 apps/lang/svenska.lng
the output i got from entering that command is as follows
-rw-r--r-- 1 alex wallis None  54724 Feb 24 11:23 apps/lang/slovenscina.lang
-rw-r--r-- 1 alex wallis None 183896 Feb 24 11:23 apps/lang/svenska.lang
but in your case, there seem to be an extra space column before the size. Maybe your user name ("Name" in the above) contains a space? Don't know if that's possible though... If it is, this should work as expected:
My user name does have a space in it and so far as i no i can't change that in cygwin, so I have a work around for dealing with that. I simply get cygwin to put my rb code into the folder that is just called home in its usual rockbox folder. I don't no why this would have started being a problem now though as up til now I have had no problems.
