I made some test on RH 7.2 setup, and I found that quota worked pretty
much the same way, as it does on the RH9 setup. On RH7.2 I had
quota setup on "/", which is /dev/hda3 and quota -v "username" returned
same kind of information as the quota on RH9 /dev/"devicename", no
logical name, such as /home/"username". On RH9 I have lvm enabled, so
/dev/Volume00 is displayed instead of /dev/sda1. 

I am not into hacking the c code of the quota source, so is there any
tests/logs, which could tell us anything, what accounts is trying to do when 
accessing quota? Basically just to see, if sudo and other setup is ok.
