You didnt give him a big enough quota.

We encountered this on another server we managed for a customer.

Seems that the customer was using RSYNC to backup data from one machine to another and when he went to add a new user to the first machine, there was already a UID with data - and therefore all that data got counted to the new user on account creation, forcing him over the limit.

Check to see what that customers UID is

cat /etc/passwd |grep USERNAME

the 123:123 will give you the username (123)

then use the find command to locate all files on the disk owned by that user

find / -uid 123

(warning, that "find" statement may take a LOT of resources, but it will find everything on the disk owned by that UID)
