It looks like the filesystem that you're trying to operate on is not mounted with the "acl" option, which is needed to set and manipulate ACLs. You will need to remount it with this option.

If you have a umask of 000, all permissions will be granted on newly created filesystem objects (0666 for files and 0777 for directories). A umask tells what permissions should be denied, so I umask of 000 will give full permissions. This is exactly what happens when you create aa, aaa, and s.
