That is the reason of the problem. The character 'T' in the ACL list means its having a stickybit set. (perm 01000). We treat files with permission 01000 (ie, ---------T type) as link files in 'cluster/distribute' translator and filter it out in 'readdir()' call. If the permission of that link file is different, then it treats it as a regular file, and hence readdir() sends duplicate entries for the same file.
