Yes, ACLs work as expected when I set fuse_default_permissions=0.

You're saying both the NFS client and server (where ceph-fuse is
running) need to use the same directory backend? (they are)
I should have mentioned I'm using LDAP/AD on client and server, so I
don't think that is the problem.

Either way, I would not expect the behavior to change simply by
enabling ACLs, especially when I'm using filesystem permissions, and
ACLs aren't part of the equation.
