Oh.
The size of a directory file has very little to do with what is actuall in the directory.
That type of file just grows in size. If you remove some files - it stays the same size.
So as an explanation - how about at one time the 1024 size directory had more files than it does now? When copied to another box it required 512 bytes for the new directory.

tively.
