edquota show's the quota, but the quota command does not:
[root at mail ~]# setquota -u 12345 10000 11000 0 0 -a /dev/hda3
[root at mail ~]# edquota -u 12345
Disk quotas for user 12345 (uid 12345):
Filesystem blocks soft hard inodes
soft hard
/dev/hda3 0 10000 11000 0
0 0
~
~
[root at mail ~]# quota -u 12345
Disk quotas for user #12345 (uid 12345): none
