[Dovecot] fs quota check with server does not support rquotad

[Ralf Becker]

It seems that a RPC call fails because rquotas are not supported on 
'homesvr'. But dovecots quota-fs requires them for remote storage.

You may verify this also using perl:

perl -e 'use Quota; print Quota::rpcquery("homesvr", "/home"),"\n";'

To test if perl-Qouta will report any quotas for '/home/h1' at all you 
may use:

perl -e 'use Quota; print 
join(",",Quota::query(Quota::getqcarg("/home/h1"))),"\n";'


Regards, Ralf
