Write a cron script (could be shell, perl, or whatever) that runs the "df" command every hour. If useage on any volume ever gets to some arbitrary limit or beyond have it send an email to whoever should know. It is so, relatively simple, that probably no one has written a separate app to do this nor has Apple added this function to the server admin tools.
Other thing to do is to run "df" occaisionally yourself. It is just part of good admin practice.
You may also want to use quotas for users... but at this time I think only Macintosh Manager has this capability. So you will have to manage your users with MM.
