Exchange 2010 SP1 Archive Limits not Triggered

Question
-
We currently have Exchange 2010 SP1 build14.01.0438.000. We have implemented the following storage limits on some of my mailboxes. Warning email at 4 GB and Prohibit send at 5 GB. To date I am unable to get the storage quota emails to be sent out the users in question and i have confirm they are over the limits.
I have taken the following steps to troubleshoot the issue
1)Made registry changes as per this article
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2480474?wa=wsignin1.0
The archive mailbox for....has exceeded the maximum archive mailbox size event 8538 in the application log.
Meanwhile the user gets no warning email and the archive mailbox is over the limit. The user gets the warning email for the primary mailbox
DisplayName : Online Archive - User
StorageLimitStatus : MailboxDisabled
TotalItemSize : 6.239 GB (6,699,396,602 bytes)
TotalDeletedItemSize : 35.05 MB (36,750,601 bytes)
Please provide some assistance

Check this thread out - http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchangesvradmin/thread/a5eb2d04-0b41-4e82-84cb-76157d6712d3/ maybe something was missed? It may be because the mailbox is disabled that no warning can be sent out. How about adjust the quotas for this user to numbers greater than what is currently in thr archive? Say 20 GB max, warning @ 15 GB and then see if a warning message is sent out.

As a side note SP1 isn't supported anymore so I would go to at least SP2 & RU6 if not SP3.
Let us know how it goes.

I have installed SP3 the archive quoter is working the following way:
An email is sent to the user only once when the archive mailbox is disabled.
An email is not sent to the when the archive warning threshold is reached
Is this how it was designed to work. I expect it to work simliar to the main mailbox. Where emails are send daily once you are over the your warning limit erc
