Hi Dale,

Most likely you are correct. I've never used the acl commands before, we
didn't know they existed, we've been attacking the problem from a linux
permissions standpoint.

getfacl returns for the parent folder

# file: data/engineering/beta/Builds
# owner: hankj
# group: eng
user::rwx
group::rwx
other::r-x

and for the folder in question:

# file: Mac
# owner: jimd
# group: eng
user::rwx
group::rwx
other::r-x

How do I delete these acls with the setfacl command? trying to figure
out syntax, but not getting anywhere.
