I understand, but -R on the send side is also causing the file system
properties to be copied over, which is what I don't want.  In
particular the mount point, but really I don't need any of the
properties copied over.

I use that to keep the file system from accidentally being mounted as
part of the initial sync operation, but mostly it's a no-op and
harmless.
