Be sure to use back ticks: ` not '

This works but there is a problem with it. You can see the difference
between this and my solution by doing

	ls */.

and 

	ls -d */.

in a directory with a lot of sub directories. How ever this does have
the nice side effect of giving you the sizes of all directories two
below the current one--something I didn't think possible w/o using
find (or something like that)
