ACL & Posix conflict



We're starting to get into more fine grained ACLs with our OS X file server, and I'm trying to take any standard POSIX permissions out of the equation to eliminate confusion.  On all files & directories from the share point & below, everything is owned by root:wheel & permissions are set to "chmod 750".  I'm managing ACLs via Server Admin, and I have two basic groups, one with read only access & one with read/write.  I'm using the default "read only" & "read/write" permission set in Server Admin & everything is propagated down into the share.

What I'm finding is that this setup is working well for Windows users (Windows respects the ACL), but I'm getting mixed results for Mac users that use AFP (sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't).  I'm not able to see anything useful in the error logs as to why this might be.  I'm wondering if anyone else has had experience with AFP not using the ACLs.

Simply stated, what should the POSIX user & group be when using ACL's & you want to make sure the ACL is the only permission set being used?
