[THIN] Disk space utilities

A bit off topic (but I've seen worse). I'm looking for not just a "how much space" are directories/files taking up, but something that could give me age of files.

I'd like to propose a tiered storage plan, but don't have 20K to buy the top level programs to automatically move aged files. I have to do the moving the old fashioned way by hand and it would be helpful to be able to say:
xxx- files are 6 months old
yyy - files are 18 months old etc.

If I can tell folks, your file hasn't been modified or touched for the last 2 years and it's sucking up 40% of my available disk space. It is a lot easier to sell moving these old files off to tape so I don't keep backing them up over and over again.
