I ran into that same issue, trying to give higher quota's in subfolders. Without buying a 3rd party software I could not find a way around it, this was back in Win 2003. But what we ended up doing was to set the lower quota on the parent folder and then going in one by one to change the other users to higher quotas. The other option is to put the higher ones in a separate folder and give them a different quota.
