what you mean by only one directory ? -- only /home/john and he should not go to /home/john/Music or something else ?
If it is he can do anything with /home/john, and he should not go for /home/tom, then tom should be owner of that dir, and for others/group dont give read & execute permission.

pure-quotacheck refuses to scan directories with uid = 0 (root) or gid = 0 (wheel/root) .
pure-quotacheck performs a chroot() call to the home directory. It never traverses parent directories.
pure-quotacheck only scans real files (no socket, no pipe, etc) .
pure-quotacheck enforces read access on directories to prevent against people doing chmod 0 before a quota scan.
pure-quotacheck enforces write access on the home directory to properly write the .ftpquota file.
pure-quotacheck never scans the same inode/device pair twice.
