Ahh, seems that FreeBSD follows the POSIX standard, which basically says the
umask should override the ACL mask. No-one else follows that (Linux,
Solaris, etc). Grrrrrr. Kinda defeats the point of ACLs.

Well, I'm not going to change the umask to 002 for the users just to make
everything group-writeable, that's horrible. Will have to find another
workaround.

Thanks for the tip,

Oliver.
