Is 192.168.1.4 the Buffalo NAS? If so...

Does the Buffalo support NTFS5 and is quota capability enabled on the Buffalo
SMB server?

Not if the Buffalo NAS isn't already configured to support quotas. As I
understand it, this command sends a packet to a remote SMB server telling it
how to (re)configure quotas on a given share. If quota capability isn't
already enabled on the remote SMB server this command will fail. I think that
is what is happening here. I'm no expert on this, just making a somewhat
educated guess.

See: man smbcquotas

I think you're right in that quotas aren't enabled on the NAS itself and there
doesn't appear to be any way of doing so. If I'm to do this, I may have to
invent some way of enforcing quotas for the remote machine at the client.

But before I get elbow deep in Perl code, I want to try putting a quota on one
of the Samba shares. Is that possible?

I wish I had an answer for you. I just don't have enough experience with
quotas. You may just have to experiment with it unless/until someone else
posts a solution.

That NAS runs on Linux. A few minutes of googling just now reveals
there are OS hacks for it. You might go that route.
