Firstly, the DEFAULT line is only executed if there weren't any other
matches besides "ALL".

Try putting "/bin/false" in as the application on the DEFAULT line
instead and see if the line is being exec'd at all.

If the DEFAULT line is being executed properly you might want to try
passing some sample CVS generated command lines to your acl script and
trace the script to see what it does with them.
