This description matches pretty well (I'm doing my own snapshots) what I've been working on, and having trouble getting to work (getting ZFS errors on one end or the other depending on options). I'm working with OpenSolaris, though, which may make a difference. Dunno when I next get a chance to work on this, maybe this weekend; but having a working example will be great. I'll either just use yours, or at least benefit from seeing what works; I'll figure out which when I look more closely.
