I don't know how you change your RQS, but it can also be done on the command 
line while it's not explained in detail in the man page:

$ qconf -srqs 
{
   name         foo
   description  Demo
   enabled      FALSE
   limit        name special users {reuti} to slots=20
   limit        name common users {*} to slots=10
}

$ qconf -mattr resource_quota limit slots=10 foo/special
$ qconf -mattr resource_quota limit slots=5 foo/2
$ qconf -mattr resource_quota enabled true foo

$ qconf -srqs 
{
   name         foo
   description  Demo
   enabled      TRUE
   limit        name special users {reuti} to slots=10
   limit        name common users {*} to slots=5
}

Also several values can be changed at once:

$ qconf -mattr resource_quota limit h_vmem=1G,slots=25 foo/special

Maybe this way you can write a wrapper which increases the values for the user 
in question temporarily and set it back once the job started.
