OH YEA!  I've done that too! 

cmuExport all sites off a box, cmuImport them to a new server.  Then copy the /home partition over - just in case you need something from the old box.  Of course - its got to go in the new server's /home directory (since nothing else is large enough to hold it).  But if you use rsync or tar/untar - all the GIDs and UIDs can be preserved.  Suddenly, your new server shows some sites and some users over quota.  WEIRD!

I finally figured it out by searching for other files owned by the users who were over quota.  Use the command "find / -user username".  You may find a couple of that user's files in /tmp or directories used by specific programs (like OpenWebMail).  But MOST of it should be in that user's home directory (or that site's main web directory if they are a admin).  Any files anywere else should be investigated.

You did the right thing - change all those directories and files to root:root.  Use the "R" switch to do it recursively (chown -R root:root /home/backup).  Then they won't be counted against sites or users any more.

Sorry - even though I've had that exact problem, I didn't think about it earlier.  Good catch Michael.
