inconsistent du output

2 Aug 2003

      I get the underneath result from the disk usage (du) command:
linux SuSE $ du -bs 8.2-i386   (which is report bits)
55466325        8.2-i386

linux SuSE $ du -hs 8.2-i386
86M     8.2-i386

linux SuSE $ du -ks 8.2-i38
87524   8.2-i386

linux SuSE $ du -s 8.2-i386
87524   8.2-i386

while awk reports something around 60M:
ls -l | awk '{totaal+=$5}END{print totaal}'
54381460

linux01:3 23:54:50 /ftp/pub/linux/suse/apt/SuSE $ find 8.2-i386 -type l | 
xargs ls -l | awk '{totaal+=$5}END{print totaal}'
667073

So I would expect a du figure of around 55M => the other output from du does 
not seem right?
What's going on?
