That's a very possible prognosis. Even when the pools are exported from 
one system, they are still marked as attached (thus the -f was 
necessary). Since I rebooted both systems at the same time I guess it's 
possible that they both made claim to the pool and corrupted it.

I'm glad this will be fixed in the future.
