There's a Unix tool call 'duc' which might do what you want in a way. It finds and graphs the largest directories in a filesystem so you can look into them. It could be expanded into more of what you want.
File/size per-owner is tougher. I usually use qtrees with no limits, just so I can generate per-user reports on a per-qtree basis. Let me know if you want my perl script for doing this against 7-mode filers.
But going down and doing this per-directory is tougher, you end up having to keep a pretty big DB hodling all the per-directory and per-file info. If you have millions of files... it's probably not worth the bother.
