On the host that has the ZFS datasets (ie the NFS/CIFS server) you need to give the user the delegation to create snapshots and to mount them:

# zfs allow -u james snapshot,mount,destroy tank/home/james

Ahh, it was the lack of mount that caught me!  Thanks Darren.

I've read through the manpage but have not managed to get the correct set of permissions for it to work as a normal user (so far).

What did you try ?
What release of OpenSolaris are you running ?

snv 118. I blame being tired and not trying enough options! I was trying to do it with just snapshot and destroy expecting something like a snapshot didn't need to be mounted for some reason.

Thanks for the clarification. Next time I think I'll also consult the administration guide as well as the manpage though I guess an explicit example for the snapshot delegation wouldn't go astray in the manpage.

cheers,
James
