Dir size check "Could not determine size of directory"

That was it, thank you! A space at the end of the file name.

Looking at client data I see:

[dir:/mm/foo/request/chkpt ]
2627096 /mm/foo/request/chkpt

Any thoughts?

The only thing that sticks out to my eye is that there seems to be some
whitespace after the directory name in the client data:

[dir:/mm/foo/request/chkpt ]

I think this might be the cause - when the client runs the 'du' command,
it is passed to a shell which will ignore the trailing whitespace; but the
analysis module back on the Xymon server treats it as a valid part of the
directory name and so it cannot match the name from the client data with
the name from the analysis.cfg file.

Could you check the client-local.cfg file and see if there is a trailing
space in the "dir:/mm/foo/request/chkpt" line ?
