The problem with the linux quota tools (and the API in general) is that it requires a block device to work on, which just doesn't exist for a network filesystem. I know that both LLNL and NERSC have modified quota tools that work for both Lustre and other filesystems, using the llapi_quotactl() function instead of calling the quotactl() syscall for Lustre filesystems.
