Hmm, I was looking at the part of the man page where it says:
The -m (--modify) and -M (--modify-file) options modify the
ACL of a file or directory.
Perhaps I was misreading that. In our product we use
setfacl -d -m m::rwx /path/to/directory
and we call it on a newly created directory, so there aren't any files
there yet.
