This will probably get me bombed with napalm but I often just
use star from Jörg Schilling because its dead easy :
star -copy -p -acl -sparse -dump -C old_dir . new_dir
and you're done.[1]
So long as you have both the new and the old zfs/ufs/whatever[2]
filesystems mounted. It doesn't matter if they are static or not. If
anything changes on the filesystem then star will tell you about it.

[1] -p means preserve meta-properties of the files/dirs etc.
-acl means what it says. Grabs ACL data also.
-sparse means what it says. Handles files with holes in them.
-dump means be super careful about everything ( read the manpage )
[2] star doesn't care if its zfs or ufs or a CDROM or a floppy.
