I didn't read it all, but I noticed two things...:

"# DAV:quota-available-bytes : value in octets representing the amount 
of disk space that can be allocated to this resource for further 
allocations – in KB or MB.
# DAV:quota-used-bytes : value in octets representing the amount of disk 
space used by this resource – including its files and sub-collections 
but NOT its autonomous sub-collections – in KB or MB.
# DAV:virtual-root defines an autonomous collection – true or false."

1) The Quota properties always count in bytes (octets), not KB or MB

2) You shouldn't use a property name of DAV:virtual-root (the DAV: 
namespace is reserved for things defined in IETF standards tracks 
documents).
