That means the particular filesystem containing the file "haservices"
has ACLs disabled, so rsync only copied the permissions.  To enable ACLs
on a filesystem, add "acl" to its mount options in /etc/fstab and
remount.

Directory ACLs seem to transfer fine with rsync 2.6.6.  Try a newer
version of rsync.

Yay!  I'm not the only ACL fanatic!
