That hunch proved to be correct, but it is cp and not ls that is affected:

> cp -vr gnuplot.x86_64/dist/gnuplot /mnt/mirror/patch/x86_64/release/
cp: cannot create directory ‘/mnt/mirror/patch/x86_64/release/gnuplot’: File
exists
> getfacl /mnt/mirror/patch/x86_64/release/gnuplot
# file: /mnt/mirror/patch/x86_64/release/gnuplot
# owner: share-owner
# group: Domain Users
user::---
group::---
group:share-adm:rwx
mask:rwx
other:---
default:user::---
default:group::---
default:group:share-adm:rwx
default:mask:rwx
default:other:---

The user doing this operation is member of share-adm, but not the
share-owner.  It seems that cp is deciding that the (existing) directory
should be newly created, which of course fails.  Reverting to both 8.23-2 or
8.15-3 fixes that problem.
