Hmm... from your boot info we can tell that quota is being
activated on all filesystems, but for some reason it looks
like the quotactl syscall is failing for these LVM devices
(but not the non-LVM device, which is wierd).

The strace output might be useful - could you send me that?

Another thing to try - if you create an ext2 filesystem on 
one of the LVM devices (might not be an option for you, I
know), and enable quota, does repquota work for that fs?
This data point would help to narrow down the number of
places where things might be going wrong.

cheers.
