But the default timeout is 120 seconds. I get the error within one
or two seconds. I've tried an explicit "with timeout of 120
seconds", with no effect.

I would think this is because it takes a certain amount of time to
calculate the size. If you try this on small directories you should
get the right answer every time. If you tell your script to wait
for a second or two (or more if you are calculating a very large
directory) it should work every time.

I do this:
set theDir to "Macintosh HD:Users:jeff"
tell application "Finder"
set theSize to physical size of folder theDir
end tell
log (theSize) --> "missing value"
Sometimes the tell block works (returns a value in theSize),
sometimes it doesn't (returns "missing value" almost immediately).
In both cases, theDir is correctly pointing to my home directory.
There is no error (try block). Why would the Finder occasionally
refuse to return the size?
(I'm using AppleScript Studio, OS 10.2.3. I've also seen this
happen in Script Debugger.)
