Just to be 100% clear the pattern I see is:-
1. ls -l gives some dirs in testdir as 0 size
2. Run: find testdir
3. ls -l reports all dirs in testdir as 8192 size
4. wait 30 seconds
5. ls -l reports all dirs in testdir as 8192 size
6. wait another minute or so
7. ls -l reports some dirs in testdir as 8192 size and some as 0

From what I've seen it needs subdirs / files to cause the strangeness.

Don't think we are using noacl at least mount doesn't show it:-
C:/testdir on /usr/local/testdir type ntfs (binary)

/etc/fstab shows:-
c:/testdir /usr/local/testdir ntfs binary,auto 0 0
