Crap.  This is right.  The OrangeFS userspace tools and the kernel both
pass the zero byte.  The server itself and our database is perfectly
capable of handling any byte array.  The value can be passed unchanged
though (and you have left that).  We still pass xfstests generic/020
with this applied.
