The "blocks in current files" is a relatively recently added measure. As 
such, I haven't written a lot of tests for it, and perhaps I got the 
calculation of the adjustments due to creating files and directories wrong 
somewhere.

It would help me to work out how, if you could run bbstoreaccounts check 
against the store and see if it adjusts the reference counts, and if so 
which ones and by how much. Could you do that for me and let me know the 
results?

The Used Blocks is the one that counts for quota purposes. I added 
"current files" in the hope of helping people to understand how their 
current usage was split between current, old and deleted files, although 
clearly that doesn't help if it's not accurate, so I'd like to fix it.

In this account, the Used Blocks is very close to the hard limit, and 
hence uploading a large file (e.g. 1.4 GB or more) would fail because it 
would take the account over quota. Housekeeping should still be trying to 
remove old and deleted files to bring the account back under the soft 
limit. Do you know if it succeeded? Does it if you run housekeeping 
manually, with "bbstoreaccounts housekeep 1001"?

Cheers, Chris.
