The answer is to read twice sequentially, as I found after testing for some time.
set ptd to path to desktop
set ptf to ptd & "2010-06-28 142254Z.rtf" as text
tell application "Finder"
set temp to (file ptf as alias)
set temp2 to properties of temp
set temp2 to properties of temp
set thesize to size of temp2
end tell
temp2

Santa
Have you tried it in a System Events tell? tell application "System Events" set x to physical size of disk item "Disk:Users:User:Desktop:afile" end tell Joe
And what, you ask, was the beginning of it all? And it is this...... Existence that multiplied itself For sheer delight of being And plunged with numberless trillions of forms So that it might find itself innumerably
