What's in /proc/sys/fs/file-max? Maybe we get too close to the system-wide 
limit before setfacl is invoked. Without recursion, nftw shouldn't keep any 
directories open. We could specify a smaller limit to nftw (for example, 
sysconf(_SC_OPEN_MAX) / 2), but I doubt this will help here.

What does this give?

find . -print0 | xargs -0 sh -c "cat /proc/sys/fs/file-nr"
