Does this mean that if I rsync --fake-super files on a local machine,
an ACL will be written to the destination files and the source files?
If so I should upgrade to 3.1 so I can use -M--fake-super.

I tested this:

rsync --fake-super -a source/test destination/test

but I think this means the ACL is not being written:

# getfacl destination/test
# file: destination/test
# owner: root
# group: root
user::rw-
group::r--
other::r--

What could I have done wrong?  I enabled ext3 ACL extended attributes
in the kernel and booted with user_xattr.
