In this instance, the du from the raidz pool is actually correct.
A zfs list shows less space (incorrect) on the single drive compared to 
the raidz.
Doing a tar on both directories gives  2 1.2G files so the data is 
actually present on both packs (plus I used CPIO to copy the data from 
the single to the raidz)

Is it possible for data corruption on the single drive to not show the 
extra space as being used?
