Normally the 'default' ACL value is taken from the parent when a
directory is created. The way you describe the 'find | xargs', you seem
to have mostly identical acls on all directories in a volume.

So you could create the volume, and then set the ACL on the root of the
volume before copying anything into it. Then all directory will
have whatever ACL you set initially.

Otherwise, yeah 'find . -type d -exec cfs sa {} ..... \;'
