Yes, no additional needs from your patch.

I hope to get feedback next time, how it works in reality to transfer
ACLs over host boundaries. For example, I don't know what happens if
`set-file-acl' has as argument "user:joe:rwx", but "joe" doesn't exist
on that host. Likely, there will be an error which must be handled:

# setfacl -m u:joe:r ~/tmp/file ; echo $?
setfacl: Option -m: Invalid argument near character 3
2

Another missing point on my todo list are ACLs of remote hosts accessed
via Samba. Recent smbclients offer the "getfacl" command, which I plan
to exploit.

Best regards, Michael.
