Solutions

1. Read the underlying ACL error message and path to identify the failing operation (e.g. missing path, permission denied).
2. Verify the path exists and the caller has ACL-modify privileges on it.

When it happens

Trigger: An ACL modification (setAcl, modifyAclEntries, removeAclEntries, removeDefaultAcl, removeAcl) fails on a path; the original exception message is re-thrown with the failing path appended.

Common situations: See trigger scenarios.
