cp-parents test and ACLs


From: Kevin Mudrick
Subject: cp-parents test and ACLs

The "cp-parents" test fails when local filesystem ACLs override umask.  
However, chmod still works fine.  Since the test seems to be checking whether 
the permissions are maintained when using "cp -a", chmod seems to be an 
alternate approach.
