the easiest way to do this on linux is to use XFS on the filesystems 
where you want to use acls. support for acls is built into xfsdump and 
xfsrestore. another option is to use the 'star' archiving program, it's 
a version of tar which supports acls. star is included with suse but i'm 
not sure about FC.

for a really good primer the guys at suse put together this, 
http://www.suse.de/~agruen/acl/linux-acls/online/, it's very informative.
