You haven't escaped your strings to make them shell-safe.  The shell eats
the backslash, and smbcacls only sees 'ACL:TOGOusers' instead of
'ACL:TOGO\users'.

I also don't know for sure if names in ACLs are supported by smbcacls in
2.2.  If so, you definitely need to handle that backslash:

  smbcacls //hermes/xfs-share test -U TOGO/hzbogdan -M ACL:TOGO\\users:0/0/W

or

  smbcacls //hermes/xfs-share test -U TOGO/hzbogdan -M 'ACL:TOGO\users:0/0/W'
