The error message suggests that criteria is not evaluating to anything, but 
I couldn't tell you why - to worked fine for me in similar context.  You 
might want to put the [calc] block on a regular IC page (call it calc.html, 
for instance), put some sized items in the cart, then pull up calc.html and 
see what it is returning.
