I have a functional BackupPC 4.0.0alpha3 running on CentOS 7.

I have one client that is my Samba4 fileserver running Debian 7.8.0 with (Sernet)Samba 4.2.3 that is handling ACL and xattr file attributes of my W7 clients. So, acl and xattr are setup on that machine.

I am currently backup (with BPC4) other linux clients without issue.

I have set "RsyncArgsExtra" for "--acls" and "--xattrs" as instructed by the wiki. (At least, I think I am interrupting that correctly.)

When I do a "fullbackup" (the first attempt) I get the following in the log file:

XferLOG file /bpc4data/pc/192.168.xxx.xxx/XferLOG.0.z created 2015-08-07 17:52:20

(The 'xxx.xxx' has replaced my actual ip address.)

If the client is storing files that include acl and xattr file permissions why am I getting that ". . . ACLs are not supported on this client . . ."?
