Once again, not the command I gave you.

Nope.  It's not.

The command I gave you would have blanked the ACL from /usr/local/media 
and /usr/local/media/tv.  The files in /usr/local/media/tv didn't have 
ACL's, so you just needed to blank the ACL on /usr/local/media/tv. But, 
it sounds like you got it with your commands.

BTW, I had hoped that after I had edited 3 of your posts to correct your 
top-posting to the list-preferred bottom or inline posting, you would 
have gotten the hint.  Since I had to correct this one, too, I'll just 
mention explicitly that this list prefers bottom or inline posting.
