In AFS, there are no "user quotas", only volume quotas. There is no way for
quota to know that you do not have control over some part of that locker
without checking the acl on every single directory in that volume; for
reasons of efficiency, this was not done. (Imagine what would happen when
you attached "source" if it did this.) So, quota takes the pessimistic
view, and warns you if any of the afs lockers you have attached is over
quota.
