I also come up with missing value when trying to get size, so I have
been using this.
set BackUpFolder to "pathToWhatever"
with timeout of (60 * 60) seconds -- One hour
repeat
tell application "Finder"
set ByteSize to size of (info for alias BackUpFolder)
end tell
if ByteSize is not missing value then
exit repeat
else
delay 2
end if
end repeat
end timeout
