I tried getting the capacity and free space of a volume using System Events. The results didn't seem to have anything to do with reality. Then I did the same thing with Finder and got the results I expected.

What is System Events really reporting?

tell application "Finder"
log {(capacity of disk "New Guy") / (2 ^ 30), (free space of disk "New Guy") / (2 ^ 30)}
end tell

tell application "System Events"
