I don't understand the question.  Did you actually compare the (x)cacls
output with the ls output?  It makes perfect sense, given especially
that xcacls only prints the ACL, not owner and group of the file.
Unfortunately I don't know any Windows system tool which prints the
group information given in the security descriptor.
