Are you sure that the pool is actually mounted at this point? On that 
Solaris 11.3 machine:

solaris0# zpool import -N foo
solaris0# zfs list foo
NAME  USED  AVAIL  REFER  MOUNTPOINT
foo    94K  9.78G    31K  /mnt/foo
solaris0# df -h /mnt/foo/
Filesystem             Size   Used  Available Capacity  Mounted on
rpool/ROOT/solaris     9.8G   3.3G       872M    80%    /

So, "zfs list" only lists the mountpoint-to-be:

solaris0# zfs list -o mountpoint,mounted foo
MOUNTPOINT  MOUNTED
/mnt/foo         no

HTH,
Christian.
