sometimes quota counts do go off (for example if you quotacheck
an active filesystem).

another possiblity is that the files have been opened, unlinked, but
not yet closed. These files are still open, and correctly counted
by the quota system, but not found by find.

The only way to test for either case is to go into single user mode.
