By default the quota command does not display anything unless the user is overquota.
To display the limits set for a user you need to specify the -v option.

xfs_quota -c 'quota -v'

Note there is currently a bug in xfs-cmds that causes xfs_quota to display results multiple times
(once for each xfs filesystem). One work around for this is to specify the specific filesystem on
the commandline.

xfs_quota -c 'quota -v' /home
