I'd say that [item-modifier size] is probably not a valid call for your 
application - put some sized options in your cart and call a test page with 
these tags:
         [item-list]
         [item-modifier size]<br>
         [/item-list]



If you don't see a list of the sizes for the items in your cart, then that 
is the problem.  I'll freely admit that I have basically ignored item 
options because it is my understanding that they are not quite 
production-ready.  You need to use the correct tag to pull in the size data 
for each item in your cart - it is probably [item-options blah-blah] or 
something similar.  I suggest you study the cart component for ideas on 
what needs to be changed.
