Based on past experience I'd suspect that there are files owned by a numeric
UID that matches the UID of that user.  It's also possible that the GUI's
values are incorrect - it happens.  Use /sbin/quotacheck to check the actual
quota and usage and /usr/bin/find to locate all files owned by that user.
You may want to do that operation based on the UID.  An easy way to get the
UID is to do this:

cat /etc/passwd | grep <username> | cut -d ":" -f 3

For info on using "find" do a google.com search for something like 'find
tutorial user' (not in quotes).  There are plenty of good examples.
