Thanks, I was supprised to find upon reboot of fresh install, that
even though I failed to export the oldpool, it was all set for import
anyway. I ran `zpool import <ENTER>' and the unmounted pool showed up
immediately and was importable with simple `zpool import OLDPOOL'

  I sense brilliant developers at work...
