No, we don't have any 'globbing' implemented.

The shell probably expanded the '*' for you which resulted into a cfs
command line like,

    cfs setacl dir1 dir2 dir3 <User> <acl>

which the setacl command can't handle because it expects

    cfs setacl dir1 <user> <acl> dir2 <user> <acl> dir3 <user> <acl>
    (yeah a bit nasty isn't it)

We could leave the globbing up to the shell if we'd change the setacl
interface to:

    cfs setacl <user> <acl> [dir]*

There are probably other cfs commands that could use a similar UI change
to make them more useful.
