You can't set NFSV4 ACLs over NFSv3, it only understands POSIX draft 
ACLs.  When you see getfacl work that is only because it is fabricating 
an ACL based on the mode bits of the file.  Its not a real ACL.

Also, remember that NFSv3 doesn't officially support ACLs.  Sun provided 
a sideband protocol to deal with UFS POSIX Draft ACLs, but its not part 
of the official protocol.
