What makes you think your conditional is failing? The following modification of your posted code

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;

#my $filename = "quotas.txt";
#open FILE, "$filename" or die "Cannot open $filename for reading: $!\
+n";
#open REPORT, ">report.csv" or die "Cannot open report.csv for writing
+: $!\n";
undef $/;
my $file = <DATA>;
$/ = "\n";

my ($header,@records) = split /directory\s+/, $file;
while (@records){
    my $line = shift @records;
    if ($line !~ /\.\.\./) {
       # my ($path, $usage, $threshold) = $line =~ / (\S+)   #grab pat
+h
       # \D+ 
       # (\d\S+) #stop at the first digit for usage
       # .*?
       # \[hard-threshold\] #seek out threshold
       # .*?
       # \(\s+(.*?)\) #capture threshold inside parens
       #/sx;
       # print REPORT "$path,$usage,$threshold\n"; 
        print "NO ELLIPSIS: $line";
    } else {
        print "ELLIPSIS: $line"; 
    }
}

yields

NO ELLIPSIS: /ifs/home/admin                enforcement    no   32K

    [hard-threshold] ( 1.0G)

    [usage-with-overhead] (  95G)

which looks kosher to me.
