This turns out to be much simpler than I thought, though I am afraid I might 
have done something wrong.

After mounting a USB zfs-formatted hard disc, say, sol_pool:

pfexec zpool import sol_pool

All I had to do is to execute a typical (POSIX) chmod command:

pfexec chmod 777 /sol_pool

The ZFS USB disc will then behave, as far as trivial ACL (?) is concerned, like 
a FAT32 disc--i.e., no rwx restrictions on this disc.

I don't think I have described this issue clearly enough.  I apologize.  But 
basically I just wanted to mount a USB hard disc that in many aspects act like 
a FAT32 disc, except that it allows files to exceed the 4 GB limit.  Look like 
the procedure is pretty straightforward.  ?
