Ah, yes - you probably don't want to do that anymore.  Now that
all of the quota changes to support XFS are in the base quota
tools (have been for awhile - download from sourceforge) and in
Debian, Mandrake, RedHat, Suse and several other distributions,
we will no longer be doing "special" versions of quota tools for
XFS.

Perhaps your kernel has not been built with XFS quota support?
Other than that, not sure what else it could be.  You will see
a console message during mount if quota is built in and you are
using one of the quota mount options for the first time, along
the lines:
XFS mounting filesystem ide0(3,8)
XFS quotacheck ide0(3,8): Please wait.
XFS quotacheck ide0(3,8): Done.

No, that wont help.  If its not a kernel build issue, then the
examples and extra information in README.quota in the xfsprogs
information might also help you out here.

cheers.
