Hi, the problem seems to be fixed in the trunk, but is not part of the current releases. Have a look at
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/jackrabbit/trunk/jackrabbit-core/src/main/java/org/apache/jackrabbit/core/security/authorization/acl/ACLTemplate.java?revision=713975&view=markup Now a check is performed, if the principal is there, and if not, it is created on the fly but not persisted, just to be able to load the ACL.
