My Java app needs to get permissions / ACLs for files on a Windows file
server.

I see that JDK 7 will have support for this in the upcoming
java.nio.file package, but unfortunately I can't wait. From what I read,
the release date won't be until September 2010, and I won't be able to
force my customers to upgrade at that point anyway.

Does anyone know of any existing libraries that have similar functionality?

I think you will need to fall back to C code and call that
from your Java code via JNI.

If you can't find such a library, you will have to write some
platform-specific code in C++ to do it, and create some JNI glue to
it.

You might find my code to get the various Windows file time attributes
a starting point.
