  I'm afraid you have to count the directory size yourself.  You could
use gnomevfs.DirectoryHandle(uri, options), eg. (untested code):

def disk_usage(uri):
	size = 0
	for info in gnomevfs.DirectoryHandle(uri):
		size += info.size
		if info.type & gnomevfs.FILE_TYPE_DIRECTORY:
			size += disk_usage(uri.append_file_name(info.name)
	return size
