Since "MyDisk:private:var:vm" is a string, "count of
"MyDisk:private:var:vm"" returns the number of characters in the string,
hence the value 20 in the result.

Instead you need to:

tell application "Finder"
set x to get size of every file in folder "MyDisk:private:var:vm"
end tell

You'll get a list of file sizes which you can add up to get the total size
used.
