I tried to replicate the problem with DDB and QUOTA compiled into the kernel
but could not.

Grasping at straws, I am wondering if he has some kind of corruption
in the quota file. But even corruption in the quota file should not
make quotactl() return a EINVAL (besides the documented bad command,
or type, that would be from a low driver with a bad unit number).

Since this is not generically reproducable, could you add DDB to
the kernel and trace a run through the quoactl() routine to see
why the EINVAL is generated?
