Xsan capacity monitoring tool (for clients)

Does anyone know of a good Xsan2 capacity monitoring tool for the client side? Our clients are working on Mac Pro's running OS X 10.5 and want to know when their Xsan is getting full and what folders are taking up most of the space so they can go in and clean out those folders. Any ideas?

Thanks!

In real time? Nope, don't know of any. But you can run Grand Perspective or Disc Inventory X and get a graphical view of the volume consumption.

I tried Disk Inventory X and really liked it except that it doesn't have a report or export tool. Grand Perspective saves and loads an XML saved data report which is very useful just in case you want to look at the same scan over and over again without re-scanning.
