Simple, make an exclude_list containing:

/pool/Teamcenter/

Then specify in your backup list:

/pool/Teamcenter/.zfs/snapshot/backup

I know - but how does that solve the problem? If .zfs were
visible, wouldn't this make even more problems? Suppose
I'd backup /pool, this would cause the original /pool/Teamcenter
and also the snapshot underneath /pool/Teamcenter/.zfs/snapshot/backup
to be stored on tape. That's absolutely not what I want -
I do not want to store the (more or less) same content
twice - I don't work at Imation, or any other tape vendor,
you know ;)
