   This one I don't quite understand.  On HFS+ directory size Always 
appears 0 (in blocks.  Though ls -l shows something different).  Maybe 
this is due to the fact that psync always copies finfo of the directory 
as well.  Remeber on HFS+ directory is not a distinct file like UFS.  
Directory is just a catalog entry so the very size of the directory 
seems irrelevant.
   Well, I don't know what

myself.

Because no matter how large a directory is, the number of blocks it 
actually takes is always 0 (or it is part of the catalog).
