But isn't it 'quotas' instead of 'quotes'? (:-)

You don't give yourself enough credit!
Well, anyway, in an attempt to be helpful:
I agree with Civileme - it looks like something is not 'letting go'
of a mount point.
There are a couple of possible reasons for this that I've run in to:
supermount has caused me grief in the past - so I just took it out of /etc/fstab
(in fact, I *NEVER* could shut down cleanly on my laptop until I did that)
a daemon process that won't die (or that is shut down in the wrong sequence)
can cause this. To check the sequencing, look at the order of the 'K*' files
in /etc/rc.d/rc<n>.d where <n> is the run level you are shutting down from
(i.e. 3 if non-graphical full multiuser, 5 if graphical). Of course, if you
don't know what the RIGHT sequence is, how do you know if your sequence
is right or wrong? I don't know, as I'm not sure *I* could tell you if
yours is wrong or right...
NFS mounts that won't 'die' (let go, close, whatever) will keep the partition
they are mounted on from unmounting
If you've got supermount, try taking that out first...
