I can confirm that setting snapdir=visible makes the issue go away. On the
other hand, actually I would like to keep the snapshots hidden.

My actual problem is with rsync, which insists on doing pwd before working:

root at pt-storage:/data/.zfs/snapshot/daily.0 # rsync -Wavn . /
rsync: getcwd(): No such file or directory (2)
rsync error: errors selecting input/output files, dirs (code 3) at util.c
(1002) [Receiver=3.0.9]


This even happens when only calling from the snapshot dir, and not trying
to work on it at all:

root at pt-storage:/data/.zfs/snapshot/daily.0 # rsync -Wavn /root/ /
rsync: getcwd(): No such file or directory (2)
rsync error: errors selecting input/output files, dirs (code 3) at util.c
(1002) [Receiver=3.0.9]
