User/group quotas are also properties (eg. "zfs set userquota@ahrens = 1ZB"). So this is working as designed, but I think it would be a nice enhancement to also (optionally) send the "zfs allow" permissions. You would have to implement a way to serialize the permissions, which are stored differently than properties. What's the scenario where you'd like to send permissions? Backup? --matt
