Thanks to George spotting it recently, they should work if you apply
the ACL related patches found at:
  http://people.freebsd.org/~rmacklem

For 8.1/ZFS, you'll see that there is one for the client side (adds
VOP_PATHCONF() support to the client), plus one for the server that
is in head, stable/8 but not 8.1. (It replaces a VOP_ACCESS() with a
VOP_ACCESSX().)

Also, although I think that 8.1 has everything else you need except the
two patches, I'll admit that I haven't tested anything that is pre-8.2
with these patches. (ie. You might also need an 8.2 upgrade, but hopefully
not.)

Good luck with them, rick
