I'm delighted to say the gates open! Our 9MB upload limit is gone! The problem was (probably because quite a few setting got changed) that moodle was using the guest internet account to write to the moodle data folder and it was the guest account that had a quota on it. Many many thanks to all the people who thought out the solution.
