Two(?) bugs in the xattrs patch

I recently found a bug in the xattrs patch, where it would apply the
wrong xattrs to some files in a transfer.  While looking at the code,
I think I found another one (it sure looks wrong, but I haven't
figured out how to demonstrate it yet).  Anyway, here's the patch:

The first hunk fixes the apparent bug.  The second hunk fixes the
demonstratable bug.

I haven't (yet) looked to see if the acls patch (which I based the
xattrs patch on) has the same bug(s).
