Let me try to explain the difference, because I don't have access to an 
old style quota binary either.
Here is some output from the NEW quota command:

Disk quotas for user test1 (uid 503):
      Filesystem  blocks   quota   limit   grace   files   quota   limit
       /dev/hda2    2724    6000    6000              32       0       0 

       /dev/hda1       1    6400    6400               1       0       0

The problem is under the filesystem heading.  Here, it displays it as a 
device.  With the old style command, it displays it as the actual 
filesystem, i.e. /home
 From what I can tell (I may be wrong), the command.php quota driver 
looks in the passwd file for the user's home directory and tries to find 
that in the quota output, which will fail for the new quota binaries.
This is the problem.  Did that help at all?  I hope :)

Thanks.
