We have tracked down the problem - quota is running as root at the time
examining the users homedir. With AFS, root does not normally have
access to lookup any info about the volume and fails.
I notice that Beth's homedir is top level readable now which is why she
is able to see her quota now.
The problem: All developers believe in open directories and never hit
this situation. A pair set*uid calls are clearly missing from the code.
