   You are answering your own question - read this again:

At 12:05 PM -0500 1/18/02, Cobalt is rumored to have typed:

   Which implies the admin user, who probably owns all of the files in the
SITE'S directory (or at least 9.1 Megs of 'em), has a lower quota than the
website has (10M, to be exact). Up the USER'S quota, and problem dissapears.

   The site administrator user should ALWAYS have the same quota as the
website. The quota is not measured by directory, but by the files the user
owns _anywhere_ on the mountpoint.
