since we are running many systems on xfs for quite a while now i had
some more machines i was able to test. it seems as if this problem only
occurs on 1 out of 3 systems i tried with. all are running the same
kernel. first i thought i did forget to update all xfs related progs
(acl, attr, xfsprogs...) but nothing changed after an update to the
versions from the 2.4.16 kernel. now i am kind of lost. it seems to work
the way i want it to, but unfortunatelay not on the system it has to.

i also checked kernel settings and umask entries for the users. 

what could cause this behaviour? 

now i am using (all devels installed):
xfsprogs-1.3.19-0
attr-2.0.0-0
acl-1.1.4-0
dmapi-0.3.0-0

are there any known issues? could find any on my list archives...

yes, but i searched lots of places and could only find solaris
questions, concerning the same behaviour. in this cases it where bugs,
thats why i asked here. i am sorry...
