What in blazes does that ACL do?!?!

Seems like it might lock out regular users from accessing *folders* inside /Volumes, perhaps while a mount is in progress (transitioning from an empty directory to an alias), in which case the folder usually gets deleted once the alias is established. <sigh> idunno... it just has an aura of being a little too slick. It may prevent regular users from writing to failed mounts... but backup programs (which sometimes mistakenly write to real folders inside /Volumes) will often run with root privileges anyway, so...
