Thanks this is indeed the the answer:

# lsattr aquota.user
----i--A----- aquota.user

       A  file  with  the 'i' attribute cannot be modified: it cannot be
deleted or renamed, no
       link can be created to this file and no data can be written to
the file.  Only the supe-
       ruser  or  a process possessing the CAP_LINUX_IMMUTABLE
capability can set or clear this
       attribute.

# chattr -i aquota.user
# rm aquota.user
rm: remove regular file `aquota.user'? y

Learned something today :-)
