I think it is because one of the lines wrapped - I have numbered the
lines now:

1: cd /home/adamsj

2: for line in ` du -a -b 2>/dev/null| sort -g -r |head -n 200| sed
s/^[0-9]*s*//g`

4: do

3: if [ -f $line ]; then
4:    echo `du -h $line`

5: fi

6: done

Seems to work for me.. I get an output like this:

I have attached it anyway.. sorry if this bothers anyone!
