Sorry about the belated response. You are a genius. This was exactly the
problem.

I keep getting bitten by zfs send -R. It is convenient as it copies all the
descendent file systems, but by also cloning all the properties it causes me
more issues than it solves. I generally realize my mistake at reboot when
zfs mount -a fails, which might be months after the mistake is made.

I wish there was zfs send -r, which would copy all the descendents but leave
the properties behind. I have since scripted this, but seems like a natural
option.

Thanks for your help. The error message was puzzling my puzzler.
