If you install quasselcore via the default Ubuntu (or Debian) package then your config dir is in '/var/cache/quassel'.

This means that you need to run quasselcore --add-user with --configdir=/var/cache/quassel and with permissions such that it can access that directory.  Usually this means running it with sudo for Ubuntu or as root for Debian.  So for adding a user the example would be
