It may help to decouple the steps.  I.e. do a "zfs send blah blah
>file" then copy the file and do a "zfs recv blah blah <file" on the
second host.

If nothing else, it should help you demonstrate that it's not the
machine-to-machine copy that's at fault, because you can take the
sha256 sum of the file on both sides and prove it's the same.

Good luck!
