Hey Gary!
I tried this out, just because I was interested, does it not do what
you wanted?
tell application "Finder"
set bigones to {}
set vols to {}
set bigones to get the name of every folder whose physical size is
greater than 256000
repeat with fol in bigones
set end of vols to {name of folder fol as text, physical size of
folder fol as real}
end repeat
set output to ""
repeat with i in vols
set output to output & (item 1 of i & tab & item 2 of i & return)
end repeat
display dialog output
end tell
result:
Macintosh HD 1,49146238976E+11

Why not use AS as this is a site for such scripts?

The size of a folder (beyond the physical size of its directory list)
is not readily available in the shell. Typically you use the "du"
(disk usage) command to add up how much space a folder's contents
take
up. You could pipe the result through awk to find the folders whose
size exceeds your threshold value...but you'd still have the list
management problem. I think I'd stick with the Finder on this one.
