Is 192.168.1.4 the Buffalo NAS? If so... > But I get the error: > Quotas are not enabled on this share. > Failed to open \$Extend\$Quota:$Q:$INDEX_ALLOCATION NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED.

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.
