Can you really use ANY subvol to use with -p. Because if I

1) create a subvol X
2) create a subvol W with the exact same content of X (but created
independently)
3) do a RO snap X_RO of X
4) do a RO snap W_RO of W
5) send W_RO to the other FS
6) send -p W_RO X_RO to the other FS

I get this:

At subvol X_RO
At snapshot X_RO
ERROR: chown o257-1648413-0 failed: No such file or directory

any idea?
