documented to "skip directories on different file systems". The /media

apparently mounted as different file
It is definitely not most directories that cause this behavior -- only a
few. Another example I have found is /mnt

Title:
xdiskusage not
Ugh, sorry. Scratch my previous comment about the /mnt directory
