Description

See https://github.com/yadayada/acd_cli/issues/125#issuecomment-136527420

I don't have access to a Mac and can't get OS X running in a VM, so I would appreciate if anyone could investigate this.

Research direction
Investigate the linked comment (https://github.com/yadayada/acd cli/issues/125#issuecomment 136527420) for more context. Set up a Mac OS environment to reproduce the issue. Debug the FUSE filesystem implementation to understand why file sizes report as 0 bytes. Look for any OS specific system calls or mount options that might affect file size reporting.
