Check if the files for which the ACL errors are reported are
dangling symbolic links, that is, a symbolic link where the file
linked to no longer exists.  

We have some Solaris machines which contain a number of dangling
symlinks, and they result in errors similar to those you report
(though from the path names, I'd guess your system is running
MacOS X).  I speculate that Bacula's file daemon tries to read the
ACL information from the linked-to file, then logs an error when
that attempt fails.  

I've thought about patching the bacula's acl.c to not log such
errors for dangling symlinks, but so far have just lived with the
extra messages.
