I just saw on important difference in the doc and this configuration:

see 
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Quota/Configuration#Quota_for_public_namespaces

the ns=name syntax is for _public_ namespaces only. I just tested it with 
this setup and every message is counted for both namespaces, if delivered 
into INBOX or a mailbox of the Archive namespace.
