one issue - if you use the checksum-seed option to rsync, files
that already exist in the pool are not transferred, even when you
do a full backup.  If that's OK with you it's OK with me.  :)

If you are already committed to ZFS dedup for other reasons,
more power to you and I'm sure this makes good sense, but 
it doesn't seem to be worth it just for backuppc.
