difference between permission on the directory

I have the following problem about permission on the directory.
Actually I installed symphony2.0 and I get the following error: 

RuntimeException: Unable to write in the cache directory   
(/Users/someUser/Sites/someApp/app/cache/dev)

if I list the directory I get 

ll /Users/someUser/Sites/someApp/app/cache
(1)
drwxr-xr-x someUser

I have another installation which works and for which the permissions are

(2)
drwxr-xr-x+ someUser

So my question is how can I obtain (2) ?
I run the following command (3) to obtain (1) but I have no idea how to obtain (2).

(3)
sudo chmod +a "`whoami` allow delete,write,append,file_inherit,directory_inherit" app/cache app/logs

P.S.:
the difference about (1) and (2) is just an + at the end.

Check out http://symfony.com/doc/current/book/installation.html

1) Using ACL on a system that supports chmod +a

$ rm -rf app/cache/*
$ rm -rf app/logs/*

$ sudo chmod +a "www-data allow delete,write,append,file_inherit,directory_inherit" app/cache app/logs
$ sudo chmod +a "`whoami` allow delete,write,append,file_inherit,directory_inherit" app/cache app/logs

2) Using Acl on a system that does not support chmod +a

$ sudo setfacl -R -m u:www-data:rwx -m u:`whoami`:rwx app/cache app/logs

$ sudo setfacl -dR -m u:www-data:rwx -m u:`whoami`:rwx app/cache app/logs

The + sign at the end of the permissions indicates the presence of an ACL list, an extension to *nix's normal permissions. You can print this out using ls -lZ. You can then setfacl to set them.
