As was pointed out a few posts up, moving a file does *not* change its ACLs unless you do the move *from the GUI*. A command-line move leaves the ACLs unchanged, and does not respect inherited ACLs (i.e. inherited ACLs are not really part of the permission system but are a hack implemented at the GUI level). Thus the problems I mentioned.
