The cyrus quota doesn't include administrative files, such as 
cyrus.index and cyrus.cache -- the user is only "charged" for files they 
have control over.  Rather than checking the filesystem directly, use 
/usr/local/cyrus/bin/quota (or wherever you installed it) and process 
that output, or have a script connect to the IMAP server using an 
administrative account and do getquotaroot commands.
