Ok.  It's simply a matter of replacing '-m' with '-a0'.

Btw, the bug in setfacl(1) command has been fixed in HEAD and will
be merged into STABLE in a month from now.

> What would you use in place of the asterisk when you want to apply the "setfacl -b" command to either all files or all directories? The period?

Directories:

find . -type d -print0 | xargs -0 setfacl -b

Files:

find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 setfacl -b

The whole point of xargs here is to take the list of files it gets from find
and turn it into a series of arguments for setfacl.  So, in the example above,
the actual invocation of setfacl would read "setfacl -b first-file second-file"
etc.  With the asterisk, it would be "setfacl -b * first-file second-file";
this means setfacl would modify not only the files passed by find, but also
all the files in the current directory.
