The /CLONE switch filters the files by the filesize and
the timestamp (among other things). If the two are not
changed by your action with ACL, /CLONE will not pick up
the files that undergo changes in ACL.

Also, when you copy directories with XXCOPY /SC, the only
directories which already exist in the destination will
not be updated with their ACL. So, XXCOPY /CLONE /SC
is not really a good way to make everything the same
between the source directory to the destination (at least
not in the current release version).

On the other hand, XXCOPY /SF is to "fixup" (without copying
files) the security info of files and directories and
therefore recommended.

xxcopy \src\ \dst\ /s/h/sf
