I've seen similar error messages from a script I've written, as well. Mine does create a lock file and won't run if a `zfs send` is already in progress. My only guess is that the second (or third, or...) filesystem starts sending to the receiving host before the latter has fully finished the `zfs recv` process. I've considered putting a 5 second pause between successive processes, but the errors are intermittent enough that it's pretty low on my to-do list.
