                           "Too many ACL entries, count %d\n"

Should you put that same "Skipping" message for all the error cases?

FWIW, should that status be stored somewhere so that when repair
completes it can emit a warning saying something like:

WARNING: ACLs were not correctly validated. You need to ensure ACLs are
	consistently and appropriately applied to your filesytem.

Regardless, that can be done as a separate patch.
