Could you please explain in details how to resolve the problem.
As I mentioned quota for admin (uid 1009): none
 
we had a similar problem while trying to create a subdomain for an account.

The disk quota showed up fine (only at around 50% capacity) and bandwidth was ok as well...

This had me stumped since everything looked fine... plus all user:group permissions were set correctly...

Then i saw a posting on here to make sure the uid doesn't have other files located elsewhere on system....

Code:
cat /etc/passwd |grep USERNAME

this showed the user id '549'

then i did to search the entire server for files owned by uid 549

HTML:
locate -uid 549

what happened was an endless listing of mail files... then i logged into the users directadmin account and checked the mail usage, and BAM, it was over 2GB (while user only had 1.5GB quota)...

Strange, that directadmin didn't report the mail disk usage...

Maybe it was because we just did a transfer to a new server something didn't sync up...

Anyhow... the fix was to delete the email accounts (purging didn't work; yes, i tried purging all mailboxes)... anyhow... you can just recreate the mailboxes after...

Afterward, the subdomains created with no problem.
