DISKQUOTA counts every block used in the index file against the user.  Thus

	QUOTA_total = DIRECTORY_total +  # files  +  # directories + foo

where foo are extra file headers for fragmented files.  Usually (hopefully)
FOO=0.

Also if you had a crash or othe wierdness, do a REBUILD of the quota file.

I found after initial screaming from my users that they are being gyped
(quota-wise) this formula quiets them down.
