The links I showed below explain why it is not possible to use the command as a normal user. There is an if statement that is not right.
The patch I was referring to is the one that fixes this if statement, and therefore gives normal users the ability to check their own quota again. I don't know if this is already fixed in MDK 8.2 (in which case I am experiencing something different), but from what those links say, it's exactly the same symptoms...
