The newer ACL patch you're using uses a modified protocol that allows
rsync to be more memory efficient and to send less data over the socket.
This change does makes it incompatible with older ACL-patched rsync
versions, but only when the new version is sending the ACL data.

In the very latest version of the acls.diff patch, there is now a way to
ask the newer rsync to send the ACL data is a way that is compatible
with an older rsync:  just double the -A option.  You'll need to grab
the latest acls.diff patch for this:

(That's the only thing that changed in the latest nightly tar file.)
