If you try to set rwX permissions, ACL fails to set them at all.
Expected:
$ sudo setfacl -m 'group::rwX' www
...
drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 10 17:09 www
With Ansible:
acl: name=/var/www permissions=rwX etype=group state=present
...
drwxrw-r-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 10 17:30 www
x for group is erased. =/
In particular, if `rsync` is not installed on the remote machine the following error message will be encountered:
"rsync error: remote command not found"
This can be tested with this command :
ansible -c local -m copy -a 'src=/etc/group dest=foo/' all
This is a corner case of the algorithm used to find how we should
copy recursively a folder, and this commit detect it and avoid it.

Encouraging users to use this Ansible module to enable SELinux seems
like a better idea. It also warms Dan Walsh's heart.
