Unfortunately no, just wanted to say I had similar problems setting up 
quota.  The first host I did, no matter what I couldn't get quotacheck to 
work.  Ended up having to run a fsck on the partition even though it 
wasn't due and fsck did not find any problems.  But after the fsck, 
quotacheck worked like a charm.  Call me quota puzzled too.
