root@ycits01:/# quotacheck -u -g -f -m /
quotacheck: Cannot create new quotafile //aquota.user.new: File exists
quotacheck: Cannot initialise IO on new quotafile: File exists
quotacheck: Cannot create new quotafile //aquota.group.new: File exists
quotacheck: Cannot initialise IO on new quotafile: File exists

The solution was to run the following:-

mv /aquota.user.new /aquota.user.broken
mv /aquota.group.new /aquota.group.broken
quotacheck -u -g -f -m /

So I hope this is of use to somebody, now all I need to do is find out where I should report the bug!
