How are you setting up the zfs quotas?  The original zfs
implementation didn't have user quotas.  You could only
add quotas to individual file systems as a whole.   They apparently
added it into the source base in 2009:
    http://blogs.oracle.com/chrisg/entry/user_and_group_quotas_for
but I'm not sure when/if  it made it to production.
My sol10u8 * (10/09) has it in the man page, but I know some things
in the man page isn't in s10 (like sharesmb), so, as they say, ymmv.

The current doc for user quotas are here:

If you don't want to use the filesystem quotas, you have to change
your rules/configuration to match what dovecot has.  See
doc/wiki/Quota.Configuration.txt.    Hope this helps.
