OK, I know what is happening here now - it seems to me that libacl
is doing some unholy things, including attempting to set default
ACLs with no ACEs.  We will change XFS to be more graceful in the
presense of this condition, and take this up with the libacl and
fileutils patch author.

Thanks for reporting and helping resolve the problem.  The fix to
prevent these warning messages will show up in XFS CVS shortly.

cheers.
