Once you've tunefs'd a read-only file system, you need to unmount and remount it -- for the file system root, this generally means rebooting. Just to confirm: you're running with GENERIC, or with a kernel that includes UFS_ACL, right? (Normally the kernel will complain if you try to mount a file system with ACL support when ACLs aren't enabled).
