ERROR: the zonepath must be a ZFS dataset. The parent directory of the zonepath must be a ZFS dataset so that the zonepath ZFS dataset can be created properly. That's odd, it should have worked. Since the zfs dataset datastore/zones is created, I don't understand what the error is trying to get me to do. Do I have to do: zfs create datastore/zones/zonemaster before I can create a zone in that path?
