Great, thanks.  Verified that it succeeds on xfs & ext3 as well.

It also fails properly when mounting ext3 -o noacl:

shared/052 1s ... [not run] ACLs not supported by this filesystem type: ext3

Technically this should have a:

+_supported_fs generic 

here.  And then it can move to tests/generic/xxx

(I guess that's a little odd and redundant, and it does
run today w/o the _supported_fs, I guess, but still
best to be consistent).

Sorry for the runaround :)

If you don't mind a V3, we'll be done,  I think!
