Unless I am misunderstanding what you are trying to do here. ZFS snapshots 
are already mounted automatically under:

/path/to/mountpoint/.zfs/snapshot/{snapname}

A normal unprivileged user can access that information at any time without
the extra use of amd(8).


Example:
$ zfs snapshot pool/home at today
$ ls -l /home/.zfs/snapshot/today/
total 1
drwxr-xr-x  65 jhell     jhell     156 Dec  6 12:14 jhell
$
