This was an enhancement request a while back.  There were compelling 
reasons for it but I've forgotten what they were (I'll remember if I 
look at the code probably).

There shouldn't be two owner entries though.

In 2.0.58d ACLs were not inherited... inheritence is a new feature for 
2.5.01.  All 2.0.58d did was require read access to parent directories.
