Hello person without a name,

I've just described how cp should behave in my reply to Michael.

The source file permissions matter, so check them.

Isn't srv/test/dir/file a regular file? Regular files cannot have
default acls. That would be useless: default acls only take effect at
create time, and you can only create files/directories inside a
directory.
