Yes the ACL/XATTR and the Mac specific streams can only be restored with
a MAC filed. For any other platform the specific data makes no sense.
So yes that explains what you were seeing. It did trigger me to fix
one minor problem where it printed the wrong error message but
that should be fixed soon. So it was not completely pointless in
looking at things.

Some streams e.g. backup data only makes sense on certain platforms
that is why things like acl and xattr are currently not restored
cross platform e.g. from Linux to Mac or from Linux to Solaris etc.
The data is formated using platform specific routines and as
such doesn't make much sense on a different platform. Linux to Linux
restores just work even if its from RHEL to Suse or any other distribution.

So for me this problem is closed as a non problem but works as designed.
