Try this:

# zfs umount zroot/home
# du -shc /usr/home/storage

If there is any directory contents under the mountpoint for your storage
ZFS then when /usr/home/storage is mounted over it, it will still take
up space in your zpool, but you won't be able to access it at all.

Aside from anything else, I'd do this:

# rm /home
# zfs rename zroot/home zroot/home2
# zfs rename zroot/usr/home zroot/home
# zfs rename zroot/home2 zroot/home/storage
# zfs set canmount=on zroot/home
# zfs inherit mountpoint zroot/home/storage
# ln -s /usr/home /home

So you should end up with

zroot/home mounted on /home
zroot/home/storage mounted on /home/storage

Personally I like to mount /home directly rather than faffing around
with symlinks, and this will make your zfs hierarchy rather less
confusing.  The one slight gotcha is that you have to set the 'canmount'
property on zroot/home, since you don't want to inherit the
'canmount=off' setting that zroot has.
