Hmm, seems to work just fine here:

	beast:root:~# zfs create tank/foo
	beast:root:~# zfs set quota=10m tank/foo

	beast:root:~# dd if=/dev/random of=/tank/foo/test bs=1m
	dd: /tank/foo/test: Disc quota exceeded
	11+0 records in
	10+0 records out
	10485760 bytes transferred in 6.109407 secs (1716330 bytes/sec)

	beast:root:~# df -h /tank/foo
	Filesystem    Size    Used   Avail Capacity  Mounted on
	tank/foo       10M     10M      0B   100%    /tank/foo

I think you just waited not long enough:) You didn't give block size
argument to dd(1), so it used 512 bytes. Please be more patient, retry
and report back, thanks!
