> it seems from the changes which went into PK5(BL23) a fix was
> incorporated to address issues with vrestore not being
> able to restore property lists/ACLs.
> Code has also been added to now show the filename for which

> If you haven't used ACLs in the past it's nothing to worry

> If you install PK6/BL24 you'll automatically install the above
