Define "not working". Your directory structure is beyond awful, performance wise, so you will never get an answer to du in a reasonable time using standard UNIX tools. du reads directories as we explained earlier.
You would have to develop a fairly complex daemon to constantly monitor each of the huge directories and then store the output on a file system separate from the big directories. Or simply wait a very long time to get an answer using UNIX tools.
If you do something about where the directory data lives, as bakunin suggested, things would get better. Not perfect.
What OS are you on? Maybe you can tune ufs or whatever filesystem you have.
