Looks like not;

root at louise:/etc/samba# getfacl /files/Lucretia/Projects
getfacl: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names
# file: files/Lucretia/Projects
# owner: ATLANTA\134trish
# group: 10001
user::rwx
group::rwx
other::r-x

root at louise:/etc/samba# getfacl /files/Lucretia/Windows
getfacl: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names
# file: files/Lucretia/Windows
# owner: ATLANTA\134trish
# group: 10001
user::rwx
group::rwx
other::rwx
