The day sent that message I tried looking too..
Interestingly enough tar describes that it can restore ACL.. yet it seems 
it fails to back them up. Perhaps we should do a send-pr on it.

Even if dump works it would be nice to have a way to backup individual 
files... specially for copying to other machines where one may want to 
have the same permissions (as long as the user IDs are the same and the 
same user names of course).
