Quotas work according to owning user/group, not the directory
in which the files are located.

How did you "rebuild sites from scratch"?  I have to wonder if
the directories and files are owned by the wrong users...

My gut feel is that you somehow backed up and restored sites
keeping UIDs the same.  When you added users, the UIDs changed,
thus screwing up disk reporting.
