Och, sorry - a clarification might needed to my reply:

Yup, in my brief testing, I was able to backup a snapdir using
Networker.

Pointing Networker at a ZFS mountpoint with the snapdir shown
( .zfs, at the top level directory ) caused only the filesystem to be
backed up, not the contents of the snapdir.
One disclaimer to disclaim here, is that my main focus on this work was
to get some quick sanity checks with ZFS, particularly looking at ZFS's
stability and investigating how the apps handled our new ACLs - for the
most part I wasn't testing the 3rd party apps themselves in depth.
Regarding the question of zfs mountpoints, using the term 'automount' is
probably liable to get some folks who deal with autofs a bit confused.
I think you mean "zfs managing it's own mountpoints" here, in which
case, no I didn't run into any problems, but see the disclaimer above.
Does Networker traditionally scan /etc/vfstab in any way ? If it doesn't
then I'm guessing you shouldn't have any problems.
cheers,
tim
