The project quotas are not on the filesystem you directed the the quota command at, and xfs_quota is telling you that it can't find the mount point for the configured project quotas on /home. Either: # xfs_quota -x -c "quota -N -u brian" or # xfs_quota -x -c "quota -N -u brian" /home /share will not output the error message because xfs_quota knows about the locations of the project quotas. Yes, it's not obvious what is happening here but technically it isn't a bug, either, because you told xfs_quota not to load information about any other mountpoint. I'll have a think about how to make this output less .... obtuse.
