ZFS is a logging filesystem. Even removing a file apparently requires
some space to write a new record saying that the file is not
referenced any more.

One way out of this jam is to try truncating some large file in place.
Make sure that file is not part of any snapshot.
Something like this may do the trick:
#dd if=/dev/null of=existing_large_file

Or, perhaps even something as simple as 'echo -n > large_file' may work.

Good luck,
