reassign 532153 linux-2.6
retitle 532153 cifs reports EACCES instead of EOPNOTSUPP for acls
thanks

So in this case, both the source and destination filesystems report that
they don't support posix acls; but cp exits with an error.

I think that's a (separate) coreutils bug.

While it seems to be an error that the CIFS driver reports ACLs are not
supported in this case, I think that's a relatively minor problem and that
getting coreutils fixed should be the priority.

Anyway, reassigning to the kernel package now, since it's established that
the initial problem is a kernel bug.
