Quotas apply to entire filesystems.  If home is its own mountpoint, run
(as root) "find /home -user paul" to print all files owned by paul.  If
home is part a larger filesystem, replace /home with the root of that
filesystem (i.e. / or /usr).

Another possibiliy is that paul has created a 5mb file, opened it, then
deleted it.  The space will not free up until all open file handles are
closed.
