hmm It could still be a Problem with the permissions. In order for you to be able to Access the dataset Chris, you need to have read and execute permission tonall parent directories, which in your case is only the root zvolume "pool1". "pool1" will probably have root and wheel as owner User and group. therefore you need to Set read and execute permissions for "others", which is the third and Last column of the permissions table. someone please correct me if Im wrong with this.
