Here's what you asked:

$ ls -al /bin/bash.exe
-rwx------+   1 Administ Users      534016 Sep 15 05:47 /bin/bash.exe

$ getfacl /bin/bash.exe
# file: /bin/bash
# owner: Administrators
# group: Users
user::rwx
group::---
group:D-Application Server-RW:rwx
mask:rwx
other:---

The user having difficulties is named 'EagleGen' and is a member of the
D-Application Server-RW group.
