You must make sure that the filesystem was mounted with ACL support.
You can do this on-the-fly by remounting the filesystems in question.
For example, to use ACLs on the /var filesystem:

	# mount -o remount,acl /var

To make this survive reboots, you should add ",acl" to the options field
on the /etc/fstab entries for each filesystem you want to use ACLs on as
shown below:

     LABEL=/var     /var   ext3    defaults,acl   1   2
