You need to run the rquotad on the server to be able to query quotas for NFS-mounted filesystems. I patched /etc/init.d/quota to run rpc.rquotad if you export filesystems and at the same time some filesystems have quotas. I don't check, though, that set of exported filesystems and the set of filesystems with quotas have a non-empty intersection.
