Check folder size - classes wrong???

Hiya,

Adding further to my archive checking script I want to test the size of a folder to flag it if it is higher than a specific size.

Here's an extract of my larger script of what I have but I get the below error. The "size checking" line is taken from an email Adam Bell posted to the list some time back:

on open folderList
        repeat with PickFolder in folderList
                CheckOrigSize(PickFolder)
        end repeat
end open

on CheckOrigSize(PickFolder)
        tell application "Finder"
                set aFolder to name of PickFolder
                set ProdFldr to first folder of PickFolder whose name contains "Production"
                set OrigFldr to first folder of ProdFldr whose name contains "Originals"
                if ((size of (info for OrigFldr)) div 1048576) > 5 then beep 5
        end tell
end CheckOrigSize


info for folder "Originals" of folder "3. Production" of folder "Job D11111 D22222 D52518 Davids Folder Template" of disk "TECH"
                "Finder got an error: File folder Originals wasn't found."

The File part worries me that I have my classes mixed up but I'm not sure how to resolve it.

I tried getting the properties of the folder but it said that the size value was missing...

As always, help is highly appreciated!
