David-

I'm sure I don't have all the right answers here, but I'm going to
take a whack at this.

I'm not sure how you did your upgrade, but I'm guessing it was a
binary upgrade? Based on that error message I'm guessing you didn't
install the 32-bit binary compatibility layer or the compat4x port.
You might also consider recompiling your binary on your new system,
but I'm not sure how easy that'll be. I'm assuming this was something
in the ports collection that no longer exists? Where did the chgquota
program originally come from?

Just an FYI- It's generally a good idea when you do major version
upgrades to rebuild all your ports, but this is not without potential
pitfalls as you might not get the same options for your compiles.
"portupgrade" can be an invaluable tool for this purpose.

Anyway, I hope this helps some.

Cheers,
Ben
