Unfortunately, acl mode is unusable in a non-domain environment as all 
the files have ownership/permissions relative to the server user/group 
rather than the client workstation user/group.

Reference this mailing list discussion back in 2000:

http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2000-12/msg00546.html

It appears this discussion is actually what led Corinna to add the 
smbntsec mount option. The issues are summarized well in this mail 
from Charles Wilson:

Cheers,
