I compiled dovecot-20060618.tar.gz on Debian Sarge in order to test XFS 
disk quotas.

My config:
protocols = imap imaps pop3 pop3s
ssl_disable = yes
disable_plaintext_auth = no
log_timestamp = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S "
mail_extra_groups = mail
mail_debug = yes
protocol imap {
  mail_plugins = quota imap_quota
  mail_plugin_dir = /usr/lib/dovecot/imap
}
protocol pop3 {
  pop3_uidl_format = %v.%u
}
auth_debug = yes
auth default {
  mechanisms = plain
  passdb shadow {
  }
  userdb passwd {
  }
  user = root
}
plugin {
  quota = fs
}

# lsmod|grep quota
quota_v2               10240  0

# mount|grep sda9
/dev/sda9 on /home type xfs (rw,usrquota)

# cat /etc/mtab |grep sda9
/dev/sda9 /home xfs rw,usrquota 0 0

# quota -v dumitru
Disk quotas for user dumitru (uid 1048):
     Filesystem  blocks   quota   limit   grace   files   quota   
limit   grace
      /dev/sda9  557452  5242880 5451776           16427       0       0

There is no errors in logs regarding quota, but the problem is that 
server reports wrong quota info.

Request:
A004 getquota ""
Response:
* QUOTA "" (STORAGE 2286043136 20971520)
Getquota completed.
