Have you tried using attr instead of setfattr?
I have the same problem but with any kernel and the newest version off xattr
user tools. getfattr workes fine but setfattr always sais "Operation not
supported". After nealy giving up it seemed that attr, which is said only to
work with xfs, just worked but not setfattr, which is meant to be used for
ext2/3, which I am using.

Tell me if attr works when you tried it.

Hope this helps,
Peter
