Usage of masks for EA

Hello,

I'm currently working on KDar to make it work with the latest libdar 
release.

I'm struggling with the Extended Attributes (EA) and the libdar::mask to 
specify which EA to archive, restore etc.
The user should be able to switch on/off system and user EA, so I 
created the mask like this:

// --- snip ---

using namespace libdar;

et_mask mask;	// AND mask, should match if all added masks match

mask.add_mask(bool_mask(true));	// all EA

// ignore user EA
if ( !userEA() ) {
    mask.add_mask(not_mask(regular_mask("user.*", false)));
}

if ( !systemEA() ) {
    mask.add_mask(not_mask(regular_mask("system.*", false)));
}

// now use the mask to create/restore archive, e.g. archive::archive() 
archive::op_extract() ...
// --- snip ---

But the EA are always stored/restored, even when I try to filter out 
system and user EA.

Did I misunderstand something? Why it is not working as expected?

Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Sascha
