ACLs are using EAs in the System namespace. This is why --no-acls
works.

And it is interesting that rdiff-backup didn't detect the need for -- no-acls automatically, but that is because the ACL test is read-only. It simply requests the ACL from the filesystem, and apparently that didn't raise an IOError when the underlying FS was NTFS-3G 2009.2.1.

--no-eas failing is somehow unexpected from rdiff-backup unless it
means "all EAs except ACLs", i.e. "ignore all EAs except ACL EAs".

Yes, that is what it means. It treats non-ACL EAs as separate from ACL EAs.
