That works on the server for an account local to the server.

Here's my thinking --correct me if I'm wrong.
Quotas are enforced at the server in the /etc/fstab on a filesystem.
You enforce quotas on a given user account on the server for a
filesystem; this account lives on the server and it's different from
any account on the client. So the quota settings for an account on the
server do not apply on the client.
When you're at the client, you mount a filesystem with quotas enabled,
then on the client edit quotas for a local account on the client.
