Why do 'find' and 'ls' act differently on ACLs

[aputerguy]

As a newbie to Windoze/ACL security, I am probably missing something.
But...
Why do 'ls and 'find' seem to treat the ACL restrictions differently.

Specifically, 'ls /c/Documents and Settings/Administrators' works
while 'find /c/Documents and Settings/Administrators' returns:
   find: `/c/Documents and Settings/Administrator/': Permission denied

I would have thought that 'ls' and 'find' would be bound by the same ACL restrictions.

Am I missing something basic here in my understanding?

They definitely should not. If they do, then there's a bug to be squashed.

I cannot replicate this behaviour.

Can you provide a minimal test case that reliably demonstrates what
you're seeing? A short script that creates some data, sets some
particular ACLs, and then invokes 'ls' and 'find' would be ideal.
