Actually, xattrs (or at least SELinux ones) work fine.
ACL's don't but that is not a FUSE problem but rather how backuppc-rsync
encodes acls.

As per our earlier email string, since backuppc-rsync has no problem
restoring acls, it should be possible to add to the backuppcfs acl
funcall a decoding routine that mimics what backuppc-rsync does.

I was able to "guess" some of the encoding elements but one would just
need to look through the rsync code guts to see how it is really done...
