Thanks to all those who responded (John Hascall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,

Most people prefer the "check your quota at login" solution.
No one seemed interested in using "watcher" to make a daily sweep.

I guess this is really an intractable problem. After all, it is simply
not possible to prevent users from flooding their quota by accident
even if they do diligently check their AFS quota at login.

Perhaps, the first question the help desk should ask: 
How much of your AFS quota do you have left?
