If anybody is interested in the wrapper code, let us know. It's about 80 lines
of perl script. The idea is if it is not fs set acl command, pass it to
Transarc's fs, otherwise, insert system:backup rl as one of the acls that the
user whats to set, and if the user wants to remove system:backup, give
warnings.
Another note about this, you do need to run fs setacl to put system:backup
read for all the volumes that had been created before this strategy took
place. It took a few days to finish for 40,000 volumes we have.
