[Samba] 3.6.9 samba does not propagate (or show) Linux quota for windows users to see it

Solved.
After i typed long letter with describing all the mysterious details for
the samba dev list, my mouse-pointer hovering over 'send' button ... i
had an idea and i found out how wrong i was .. (almost blushing - but
writing anyway and not hiding my mistake, so others may learn from my
mistake, ehh.. )
So shortly - mistake was in 'smb.conf':
1. wrong config:
# Login Options:
logon script = netlogon.bat
logon home = \\%L\home\%U
logon path = \\%L\profiles\%a
logon drive = H:
[home]
comment = Home Directories
path = /home
do you see now, why i havent seen correctly quota? I was mounting whole
home FS, and directing users to their homes through the 'logon home'
directive - which is OK, but it will simply report whole FS to users in
regards of used/free space on disk (logically, duh)
2. good config showing Linx user quota set on their HOME dirs:
# Login Options:
logon script = netlogon.bat
logon home = \\%L\home
logon path = \\%L\profiles\%a
logon drive = H:
[home]
comment = Home Directories
path = /home/%U
So you see, i moved the "%U" from 'logon home' directive directly to
share mountpoint definition - and this did the trick.
Rowland, thanks for all your help and patience! (:]).
