How would one go about disabling access control lists on a volume in 10.6 Snow Leopard Server? I tried the command line with instructions from 10.5 Server, but the terminal reports back that it couldn't find the fsaclctl command. Any ideas?

According to several reports and articles,
fsaclctl does not ship with ship Snow Leopard, which means that there is no way to turn ACLs off.
Some individuals have noted or speculated that you may be able to copy it from a Leopard system and use it, but nobody has been entirely certain on whether it would work on a folder/file with ACL that were set by Snow Leopard.
The reason why I want to disable ACLs is because I ran into a problem where ACLs caused issues for Windows users trying to save documents in Microsoft Office using SMB. Does anyone know if Apple corrected this?
I copied the fsaclctl command from 10.5 and created a launchd deamon which disables acl whenever a drive is mounted. Thats the only way to how we get Windows sharing working, expecially for saving Excel and Word Files, because if these files are accessed by to different users, the files will get locked with acls.
