First, please realize that it's your dump program reporting this,
not Amanda.  Amanda is just echoing the messages through.

What kind of OS is being dumped and what kind of dump (e.g. ufsdump,
vxdump, etc)?  Some versions of dump just don't do ACL's.  Vendors want
you to buy their spiffy proprietary backup software that actually works
and leave the normal stuff crippled.  Wonderful folks, those vendors.
