Yikes, I've got dozens of the things... I monkeyed around a bit with
timeslider but thought I canceled out whatever settings I'd messed
with. 

Frequent and hourly both are way to often for most of my data.

I think I've kind of painted myself into a corner.  I apparently
turned on timeslider... but one pool had some kind of corruption
problem that I fixed by zpool destroy entire pool.

But I keep getting errors from timeslider that would put frequent and
hourly into maintenance mode.  Which meant I couldn't do anything with
the timeslider applet.  It seems a little light on robustness.. not
able to be used if there is any problem.

Finally I disabled both frequent and hourly... and of course then the
timeslider  I unusable because the services are off.

I tried restarting them again after getting the offending pool rebuilt
involving at least 2 reboots.  But now restarting them, and
immediately they go to maintenance mode.  And of course the timeslider
applet is useless.

Looking at the log output its the same as what I posted earlier... in
a different thread.

It appears to be related to not being able to open a crontab file.

Doesn't say which but I see several in /var/pool/cron/crontabs

 ls -l /var/spool/cron/crontabs
total 9
-rw------- 1 root sys    1004 2008-11-19 18:13 adm
-r-------- 1 root root   1365 2008-11-19 18:30 lp
-rw------- 1 root root   1241 2009-03-30 17:15 root
-rw------- 1 root sys    1122 2008-11-19 18:33 sys
-rw------- 1 root daemon  394 2009-03-30 18:06 zfssnap

So I'm not sure what the problem is.
