Hm, I always thought that quota tools work with /etc/mtab,
don't you have /etc/mtab to be a symlink to /proc/mounts?
This might confuse it.

This output looks correct.

This one suggests you have something strange with /etc/mtab.
Here's what I usually see (no quota enabled this time)

/dev/hda2 on / type reiserfs (rw)

This is because reiserfs is lacking necessary callback to print it's current
mount options in /proc/mounts, I think.
