Title:
  rsync throws Invalid argument (22) errors when attempting to preserve
  ACLs on backup to S3QL drive

Status in “rsync” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Ubuntu:  Lucid 10.04.4
  Kernel:  3.0.0-31-server
  rsync:  3.0.7-1ubuntu1.1
  s3ql:  1.13.1-1~lucid2

  Every night we make a backup to a remote s3ql share using rsync.  In
  the past few days this error started showing up in the logs for every
  single file:

  rsync: get_acl: sys_acl_get_file(.bashrc, ACL_TYPE_ACCESS): Invalid
  argument (22)

  We use the -A flag to maintain ACLs in the backup.  Removing that flag
  eliminates the error messages, but then we're not preserving the ACLs
  anymore.

  The full list of flags on rsync is:  -aHAXx -i --delete-during
  --delete-excluded --partial --exclude [a few dirs]

  S3ql did update recently, but it was 4 days before this error started
  showing up.  The one thing of note is that the problem didn't appear
  until after I'd rebooted the system to use the new kernel version.
