Well to me it looks like MFT is full ("the directory space") and it cannot be extend by the NTFS driver in the router (most likely the function is not implemented) - so it's not an error of the firmware but the NTFS driver used in the firmware (which could be quite old and limited in functionality).

I suggest to remove he USB stick and run a check/repair on Windows command line: chkdsk drive: /R /Scan
Wait and see what the errors are and if and how they can be fixed by chkdsk tool...
