Problem with extended ACLs in 3.0.4?

[Andrew Gideon]

I've been using a 2.6.2 that I modified myself to get ACLs as I like.  
I'm trying now to get back into the public version of rsync, but am 
finding difficulties.

This one seems pretty basic.  It's on a CentOS 4.5 machine with rsync rpm 
rsync-3.0.4-1.el4.rf and kernel 2.6.9-55.0.2.plus.c4.  After the 
operation, f1 and f2 should have identical ACLs.  They don't.

	[root at house0 t]# ls -l
	total 4
	-r-xr-xr-x+ 1 adm sys 0 Nov  2 12:57 f1
	[root at house0 t]# getfacl f1
	# file: f1
	# owner: adm
	# group: sys
	user::r-x
	group::r-x
	mask::r-x
	other::r-x
	
	[root at house0 t]# rsync -aX -v --itemize-changes f1 f2
	sending incremental file list
	>f+++++++++ f1

I originally discovered this in a network copy which uses link-dest.  
The previous copy of the file has the correct/complete ACL, and the
link-dest logic sees this as different from the "new" copy result so
a new copy of the file - with the wrong ACL - is written.

Is this somehow desired behavior, or is there some option combination
that can be applied to "fix" this so that the copied ACL truly matches
the source?

Thanks...
