Now that I take a proper look these constants are also defined in smb.h. The magic hex values defined in smbcacls are a combination of the FILE_* specific access bits and the generic access masks and rights. I am of the opinion that the best way to manage an ACL list is through a GUI and not a command line program. Sometimes you need to script things automatically though so this is why smbcacls was written. Tim.
