Neither of these work, nor do a few other variants I tried; most just
result in an error of "cannot remove non-existent acl entry" or
"invalid argument". Completely clearing the acl was the only way I
could see to clear the mask. I'll dig around the freebsd sources
sometime this week to see what's happening.
