Look at the output of "mount" and you'll see the answer to why this doesn't
work.  :)

machine1 is mounted on top of ESXishare, thus hiding everything in that
directory.

NFS client is picking up cached information.

Change the mountpoint for machine1 via "zfs set mountpoint=whatever
storage/ESXishare/machine1", then copy the data from /storage/ESXishare
into it.

Then you can set the mountpoint back to /storage/ESXishare/machine1.
