Those objects are created automatically when you share a dataset
over SMB to support remote ZFS user/group quota management from
the Windows desktop. The dot in .$EXTEND is to make the directory
less intrusive on Solaris.
There is no Solaris or ZFS functionality associated with those
objects and you can safely delete them on ZFS: they will be
recreated as required whenever the dataset is shared over SMB.
I, for one, do not do that. When a ZFS box is used as a SMB file server
for a Windows system, that system gets access to snapshots (perhaps
created by Time Slider), which allows one to retrieve previous versions
of files or directories, exactly as is the case on the Solaris box. I
use it for "versioning" in Delphi development. Very handy indeed.
I first read about that feature in "Building an OpenSolaris Server: A
Better CIFS Server than Windows?" at http://www.slepicka.net/?p=37
