man zfs :
Because SMB shares requires a resource name, a unique
resource name is constructed from the dataset name. The
constructed name is a copy of the dataset name except
that the characters in the dataset name, which would be
illegal in the resource name, are replaced with under-
score (_) characters. A *pseudo property* "name" is also
supported that allows you to replace the data set name
with a specified name. The specified name is then used
to replace the prefix dataset in the case of inheri-
tance. For example, if the dataset data/home/john is set
to *name=john*, then data/home/john has a resource name of
john. [Emphasize mine]
What Thomas tried is right and should have worked, because that's how
I shared my datasets in the first place, and it still works flawlessly
here on snv_130. Now he could try with the quotes, and if it works it
means something changed between releases. That's always a possibility.
