Do you move the pools between machines, or just on the same physical machine? Could you just use symlinks from the new root to the old root so that the names work until you can reboot? It might be more practical to always use symlinks if you do a lot of moving things around, and then you wouldn't have to figure out how to do the reboot shuffle. Instead, you could just shuffle the symlinks.
