Nope, somehow missed the import of that.

I'm only trying to back up the rpool/export/home portion of the root pool;
is that still impossible?

Because so far as I can tell, *that* part is working; it's adding a second
fs that I'm having trouble with.

In the example I posted, this bit WORKED in one case:

# zfs create bup-ruin/fsfs/rpool
# zfs send -R rpool/export/home@bup-20090216-044512UTC | zfs recv -d
bup-ruin/fsfs/rpool

I'll find that other thread and check up; is it a consistent failure or
intermittent, though?
