Hi, I figured out what it was. I had a quota file, but it was empty and that was causing the "Invalid argument" error. By the way, webmin has an easier way of enabling quotas. But I think there is a bug in the "webmin method" because, it was trying to turn-on quota twice in the same script file ! These quota commands are in /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit (for your info).
I have been using linux for 2 months now and this has been a nice experience for me. Thanks Mr.Sridar and all.
