Ok, I know NOW that I should have used zfs rename...but just for the record, 
and to give you folks a laugh, this is the mistake I made...

I created a zfs file system, cloud/movies and shared it.
I then filled it with movies and music.
I then decided to rename it, so I used rename in the Gnome to change the folder 
name to media...ie cloud/media.<---- MISTAKE
I then noticed the zfs share was pointing to /cloud/movies which no longer 
exists.
So, I removed cloud/movies with zfs destroy<--- BIGGER MISTAKE

So, now I am restoring my media from backup.

And THAT is one of the reasons why backups are important even with redundant safe fileservers. (Software bugs, physical destruction, and user error!)
