That's the way that user and group quotas work.  Any file that is owned by a \
particular user/group gets counted against the corresponding user/group quota \
(regardless of where it is on the file system).

You might want to look at using project quotas.  You can create a unique project ID \
for each user (which could be the same as the UID for simplicity), and then use the \
chattr command to assign all files in the user's home directory to their project ID.  \
Then you can apply quotas to the projects.
