I saved an ACL using icacls using this command

icacls File.zip /save aclsFile

That worked fine, but whenever I try to restore the file I get an error message:

icacls * /restore aclsFile
Not all privileges or groups referenced are assigned to the caller.

Has anyone else encountered this problem or know how to fix it?

Is UAC enabled on your system? You need to run your command prompt as administrator in order for icacls restore to work.

Also - I'm pretty sure the format of your restore command is incorrect. A * will cause icacls to error out because it will look for *\File.zip - what you probably want is: 

icacls . /restore aclsFile
