[Samba] samba 3.5.3: loads of errors copying some simple ACLs with robocopy

Maybe I'm doing somthing really stupid, but while copying some windows 
share onto a samba server, on some random subdirectory robocopy
says ERROR 87 (0x00000057) Copying NTFS Security to Destination Directory...

The samba logfile has lots of these lines.

modules/vfs_posixacl.c:349(smb_acl_to_posix)
smb_acl_to_posix: ACL is invalid for set (Das Argument ist ungültig)

The strange thing is that the same configuration worked with
samba-3.4.8 (from lenny-backports, on lenny, with the lenny kernel).
The samba3.5.3 is the sernet-samba, on lenny, with lenny kernel (2.6.26).

The ACL on the files to be copied are really simple, just
Everyone/Full Control, and "netzadmin"/Full Control.
That user is admin user on the samba machine, and is the user doing the 
robocopy on a windows XP machine.

The filesystem is ext3, mounted with acl,user_xattr.

...


BTW, using the
vfs objects = acl_xattr
gives less of these ERROR 87 lines.

Don't know if this is helpful, I'll go back to samba-3.4.8 for now...
