I would ask that you remember that du will show files owned by ALL  
users under a given path.  repquota will show the calculation for all  
files, regardless of path, owned by a given user.  Without actually  
having your system in front of me, it's hard to show you an exact  
example.

On my system, du -kd1 /Users shows my home directory at 50992028k  
(48.63G), whereas repquota shows ecrist user at 68069764k (64.92G), a  
difference of 16.30G.  I searched and found the my home directory has  
a size, according to finder of 48.63G (matches du).  The other 16.30G  
I was being charged for by quota, not in my home directory was in a  
few places:
1) 13.1G was in my /Applications/World of Warcraft folder (owned by  
ecrist)
2) ~3.2G was other applications in /Applications folder, all owned by  
ecrist.
