Under my OpenSolaris 2008-11 install I reached the conclusion this didn't work due to a combination of bugs. Is this fixed in 2009-6?

Specifically, I want to do a nightly incremental send from the most recent common snapshot and apply it to an external (USB) drive also formatted as ZFS. I want to include any more recent snapshots in the transfer, so that the external drive ends up equivalent to the primary filesystem at the end of the transfer. Is anybody doing this routinely now on 2009-6 OpenSolaris, and if so can I see your commands? I'm about to start experimenting with this on a virtual machine, before upgrading the ZFS on-disk version of my main pool and my backup drives, but I'll work at it a lot harder if there are people out there succeeding at making it work!
