"Disk quota exceeded" is an operating system error.  Your OS does not
appear to agree with what you believe the "interch" user's quota is set
for.  The problem is in your OS and/or your quota configuration - but
it may be possible to work around the problem if more is known.

When logged in as "interch" what does "quota -v" tell you?  I would check
the settings not just on the filesystem Interchange is being installed
on, but on / and /var also.  It's possible that Interchange is trying to
write a temporary file in /tmp or /var/tmp that exceeds the quota for
those filesystems.
