Have you ruled out using 'zfs send' / 'zfs receive' for some reason? And have you looked at rsync? I generally find rsync to be the easiest and most reliable tool for replicating directory structures. You may want to look at the GNU version of rsync (available at www.sunfreeware.com and elsewhere).
