du -h will export human readable format ( 14K, 234M, 2.7G). it will generate some issues sometime. for example, if the size is higher than 1000G, you got 1.2T, then your script have issue.

second, define a var to replace the log file which used for several times.

Code:
#! /bin/bash

#you means /home ?
LOG=/home/reports/DiskUsage.txt
du -hs /home/PMjobs> $LOG
date >> $LOG

#extract the size number without KB,G,etc...
$FileSize=$(du -ks /home/PMjobs | awk '{print int($1)}')

#compares the size of the directory

if [ $FileSize -gt 500000000.0 ];  #here,no "G"
then

  # pulls size of additional directories

  cd /home/PMjobs
  du -hc PM1 PM2 PM3 PM4 PM5 >> $LOG
  date >> $LOG

fi

mutt -s "Disk Usage reports" -a $LOG admin@anycomp.com
