i got it to work on some qtrees and not on others. turns out some of our sites had "noquota" set as a default mount option.
so the client did not report quotas on the NetApp, which was happy to enforce them.
kind of amusing, as long as you are not the admin who gets the 2am phone call.

so there is no information. quotad is supposed to be supported, but it doesn't seem to be so...
You need to make sure that
(a) the NFS filing system is mounted on the client at the time you do "quota -v"; (b) the mount point is inside the qtree for which the user quota applies (as you has a user@<qtree> type quota); (c) the "noquota" option wasn't used on the NFS mount, as (for some Unix clients, anyway) such mount points are skipped by the quota command when it is doing its RPC calls.
