Thus, the operation to retrieve the ACL fails and is logged as noted below.  Multiply that by hundreds of users with multiple redirects per home directory, and you get the log flooding we're seeing.  As I understand it, a future version of netatalk will change how these failures are logged

yep, will be shipped in 3.1.7.

Cheerio!
