du doesn't properly report child directory usage #8

If we have a Drive folder hierarchy like

Pictures/
Pictures/2012/
Pictures/2012/spring/
Pictures/2012/summer/

and so forth, then 'skicka du' reports the usage of /Pictures/2012 as just the amount of stuff immediately in that folder; it doesn't include the usage of the child folders.
