I have got excatly the same problem here. 

At first I supposed that it might be caused by the new quota code ("vfsv0"). 
I have to use this new quota code because "ext3" does not work together with 
"vfsold" - the old quota code.

Some information about my system: SuSE Linux 7.2, kernel "linux-2.4.9-ac10" 
(patched with "ext3-0.9.9") and "samba-2.2.1a" (of course, with enabled
disk quota support). Alan Cox' kernel series ("ac") comes with the new quota 
code "vfsv0" which uses "aquota.user" and "aquota.group" instead of "quota.user" 
and "quota.group".

I haven't tried a recent CVS version of samba, yet.

I don't think that kernel "linux-2.4.3" (vanilla) comes with "vfsv0". But the 
suffix "-12" might point to a special distributor's (Redhat) kernel, so perhaps 
you've got "vfsv0" support? Do you have a file called "quota.user" or is it 
called "aquota.user"?
