Hm...  It seems that (get|set)facl do allow detailed permissions to be
set, but what I really need is the inherited
property/attribute/whatever to be set, as these files need to have
permissions matching those of their final destinations.  It's okay to
tell me "Don't be absurd!" but I haven't heard it yet :-)
Incidentally, while I was using the ntsec default for permissions,
all this stuff worked correctly...

Also, with umask set to 077, a file I create with "touch" will end up
with NT permissions for read and write, but not execute, as well as
numerous other types of permissions.
