Setfacl permission issue

My Admin has written a shell script (Filepermission.ksh) with the following commands and provided me 'exeutive' privileges. However, when I try to run the script, I am getting the following error message. Can some one tell me what could be missing? Thank you for your continued support.

Script:

cd /tmp

setfacl -r -m u:user01:rwx *FILE.TXT

exit

Error:
TESTFILE.TXT: failed to set acl entries
setacl error: Operation not applicable
