I had attached transport pipes to it and the items either shoot into different barrels (cobble into 3 or 4 barrels), or they just fly out and are dropped. I tried Pneumatic Tubes, but the items just shoot out of the machine and land everywhere.

Chest beside Quarry.
BC Gate set on:
Inventory Full = Redstone Signal
Redstone signal to Quarry.
Filter out of chest.
Relay attached to filter.
Relay dumping into Pneum Tubes (That's what I like to call them).
Pneum Tubes into Ender Chest.
Filter Ender Chest at base into Sorting System.
SCORE!

Have the tubes going to the top of each barrel and the stuff flies out of the tubes/pipes whichever I use.
IMO BC pipes are best here with your setup to your barrels or even better a wooden pipe to an ender chest to your sorting system( you may not even need the pipe its been a while since i used a quarry I use turtle now) Without seeing your setup it sounds like you don't have enough places for your items and its causing items I pop out, a quarry creates tons of dirt and Cobble and fills up barrels fast depending on the size of your quarry you'll need at least 4 barrels for cobble alone . I personally would scratch barrels and chest for your quarry and setup an ender chest system , less issues.
If you're set on using barrels instead of setting up an ME system, run buildcraft pipes directly along the top of a row of barrels. Load one item of each that you want to store in the barrels. Connect the end of the line of the pipe back around to the beginning (make a loop) and use an iron pipe to keep items flowing in the same direction. Now stuff won't pop out. But if stuff enters your system that doesn't have a barrel, it will continue around endlessly. For stuff you anticipate getting less than a stack of, you can have a chest as part of your barrel line and preload it with one of each in each slot you want to dedicate to that item. Any empty slots will get filled by random stuff (whether or not it has a barrel).
The most fail-safe way to transport items from a quarry in another dimension is item tesseracts. Set one next to the quarry (it counts as a valid inventory for the quarry) and another in your base. The one in your base is set to receive, the one next to the quarry to send, both the same frequency. Connect a buildcraft pipe in your base to your storage. I would suggest filtering out cobble, dirt and gravel through diamond pipes. I have mine set up like this:
The stuff is stored in barrels and the excess is dumped in void pipes. This makes sure I can run any amount of quarries and deal with the output.
The benefit of this system over enderchests is that you don't have to rely on some system to pump out the items out of the enderchest.
That's a ncie way to piss off server admins. Many items looping around cause unnecessary computation.

Indeed it is. That's why I use a ME network and routers instead (although both have their own issues in 1.0.1) and that's why I prefaced it with "If you're set on using barrels instead of setting up an ME system". BC pipes still have their purposes. Loops are mostly to just avoid dumping stuff out on the ground or voiding it when there is actually a place for something to go but the pipe derps the item right past it instead. Basically, it's a solution to a shortcoming. It works great when you know your system can't be overloaded by what you're throwing at it. But that's not always knowable, so I try to avoid using them entirely. Especially so after the incident with my recycling system constantly exploding. Seriously though, why the hell do these things even DO that without being destroyed. Seems like a pretty serious oversight. Things should not be capable of exploding nonstop. It makes for a very easy to build and devastating lag troll if someone is doing it on purpose.
As for ender chests, I just have those hooked directly to either an importer or exporter depending on what they're doing. I could probably replace them with item tesseracts in most instances, but it's nice to have something with a sizable enough buffer that can handle multiple intermittent simultaneous inputs.
Those are not two contradictory actions. AE systems can use barrels just fine (or their superior DSU cousins)
Thanks for you ideas, guys. Sticking with BC Pipes and good old Diamond Transport Pipes came to the rescue. Used up all my diamonds, but nothing flys out of the pipes anymore....unless the barrels are filled to capacity. Other them the Extra Dimensional Barrel Upgrade, what other HUGE storage items are there?
I'm pretty sure that wasn't the tesseracts causing the issue as they should be able to keep up with any amount of input as long as the receiving end outputs to a system that can keep up (receiving tesseract with nowhere for the items to go will cause the sending tesseract to stop accepting items and cause overflow at quarry end). Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.[DOUBLEPOST=1369206920][/DOUBLEPOST]
applied energistics is the daddy!
deep storage units from mfr also worth looking at.
GregTechs digital chests and its upgraded version. However they do not display what item is inside them, something that is beyond ridiculous as they literally require a monitor in the recipe. It switch to them right now if they had a 3D item display on the front or at least an option for one.
These also integrate with AE very well through storage busses. That way you can store HUGE amounts of anything without having to worry about your disks filling up.
Not that that's likely to happen but anyway...
