- The ACL on the directory file does not grant write access to the directory.
- The one ACE you specified above is used to specify the default ACL which
- will be placed on any new files created in the directory, but it does not
- grant write access to the directory. For that, add another ACE just like
- the one above, but omit the "OPTIONS=DEFAULT" phrase.
