setfacl -x doesn't shows it removed the ACL

Hi,
My directory had ACL for user XYZ and I wanted to removethe ACL's X had.
So, I issued the command
after removing when i list the files, it still shows with (+) i.e it still contain ACL(??)

drwxr-xr-x+ 25 inuser USR 4.0K Jul 29 08:28 TgtFiles


also, the getfacl for the above dir, gives
# file: TgtFiles
# owner: inuser
# group: USR
user::rwx
group::r-x
mask::r-x
other::r-x

Though it removes the ACL , when I list the dir / file, it shows (+) .


Any reasons ?

thanks

acl_get_file(3) 					     Library Functions Manual						   acl_get_file(3)

NAME
acl_get_file - Given the pathname to a file or directory, retrieve the designated ACL LIBRARY
Security Library (libpacl.a) SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/acl.h> acl_t acl_get_file( char *path_p); acl_type_t type_d); PARAMETERS
Designates the pathname to retrieve the ACL from. Designates the type of ACL to retrieve: ACL_TYPE_ACCESS, ACL_TYPE_DEFAULT, or ACL_TYPE_DEFAULT_DIR. DESCRIPTION
NOTE: This function is based on Draft 13 of the POSIX P1003.6 standard. The acl_get_file() function retrieves the designated ACL via a pathname. The type of ACL being retrieved is designated in acl_type_t. Working system storage is allocated as needed. RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, the acl_get_file() function returns a pointer to the working storage internal representation copy of the ACL. If the specified ACL type is ACL_TYPE_DEFAULT or ACL_TYPE_DEFAULT_DIR and the specified ACL doesn't exist for the given file descriptor a value of NULL is returned. If the specified ACL type is ACL_TYPE_ACCESS and the given file descriptor doesn't have an access ACL a pointer to the working storage internal representation copy of the permission bits in ACL format is returned. Otherwise, a value of NULL is returned and errno is set to indicate the error. ERRORS
If any of the following conditions occur, the acl_get_file() function sets errno to the corresponding value: The required access to the file or directory was denied. The type_d argument is not a recognized ACL type. The path name is longer than allowed. The object does not exist. There is not enough memory available to the process to allocate the working storage. The type_d argument indicates a default ACL, and path_p does not point to a directory. RELATED INFORMATION
