I have the same issue, I guess. Also 3.4.2 on KitKat 4.4.2, device Galaxy S2.

diskusage on start suggests "/mnt/media_rw/..." (screenshot) which is not 
accessible without root (ls -l attached). Right path with normal rights would 
be "/storage/sdcardN" (another ls -l), but it hides behind [Root required] 
button. 

output of "mount" attached as well

I am also experiencing the same issue with the  "/mnt/media_rw/..." path not 
being read by the app (and subsequently, its size not being shown) 

see attached

Same problem here:
I have the same issue, I guess. KitKat 4.4.2, device Galaxy Allview X2 Twin.

diskusage on start suggests "/mnt/media_rw/ which is not accessible without 
root. Right path with normal rights would be "/storage/sdcard2" (who is 
accessible).

Thank you in advance!
