FileACL Syntax to Replace File ACLs from Parent Will 01-20-2006

I have a user whose file system has NULL entries set on many folders and
files, making the files inaccessible to any user including Administrator.
I was told about a wonderful command line utility named FILEACL that can be
used to recover in such situations by forcing a replacement of the file ACL
using backup and restore commands. I get this command to work fine on
individual files or folders, but I cannot find the syntax for every file and
folder starting from the current location.

This one works:

fileacl <subfolder-name> /inherit /replace /force

These variants do not appear to have any effect on a file or folder whose
ACL entries are set to NULL:

fileacl * /inherit /replace /force
fileacl * /inherit /replace /force /sub /file

Can someone give me a correct syntax to change all files in the current
subdirectory, all subfolders, and all files within subfolders to inherit ACL
permissions from the parent?
