to me to be behaving as expected.

These suggestions might help diagnose the problem a bit more:
- start with a non-root filesystem, its easier that way as the mount
options are sufficient to enable quota; (/mnt/hdd from your system
looks like a candidate);
- "repquota -va" will give quota status of all mount points, & more
conclusively than other tools (like edquota);
- "xfs_db -r /dev/XXX -c sb -c 'p qflags'" will tell you the status
of the XFS superblock quota flags.  eg. for usrquota only, this'd
have the value 0x7 (0x0 means no quota is enabled at all).

cheers.
