Did you check the ACL patch in CVS?  (Also available via the "nightly"
tar files.)  I think it already has this fixed (I know that
unchanged_attrs() was extended to check for ACL changes when preserving
ACLs).

That's the main user of unchanged_attrs(), so if it works well with
that, you've probably got a good patch.
