This is exactly what
eautil filename nul /s
does.

Read up on how the /P option modifies the operation of the /S option.

Yes, but there is more to EAs than just EA DATA. SF. This means it is a
two step process. Erase the EAs and then erase EA DATA. SF. Actually
what I do it rename EA DATA. SF and then delete it.

Huh?
Recall what the goal is. The end users want to use normal WPS operations
with minimal fuss.
The cause problem is that normal WPS operations will result in EAs being
copied along with the files. FAT file system driver will create EA DATA.
SF when it needs to. There's no way to avoid this if the source file has
EAs.
The goal required that we can undo this, also with minimnal fuss.
