Thanks for your message,
meanwhile I did some testing:

- copying files on the server only (as you suggested) works fine: softlimit, 
  grace period, hard limit work as expected
- copying files via the Windows 2000 Explorer on network disks works also:
  softlimit, grace period, hard limit work as expected
- the problem shows up *only* during logout when the user's profiles are
  written back to the server
