It seems to be asking for files OVER 5 days old. You want less than 5 days, right?

find . -mtime -5 -exec du -sh {} \;

Also - directory changes will be included, so limiting it to files might be a
good idea.


find . -mtime -5 -type f -exec du -sh {} \;

I'm not getting the "summary" -

find . -mtime -5 -type f  -print0 |  du -hc --files0-from=-

Is closer.
