Summary: `time-slider' only creates snapshots for terminal filesystems
It fails to create snapshots for intermediate filesystems

uname -a: SunOS oi 5.11 illumos-30c75cb09b i86pc i386 i86pc

Details to recreate:

on a recently updated oi/hipster host. (also noted on all of my
hipster hosts which are also recently updated).

This recipe will show the problem, and appears to be reliably
repeatable:

create a zfs filsystem like `zfs create pool/a' and zfs create pool/a/b

(The `add data' step below is not strictly required)

Add some data to both filesystems.

Enable time-slider thru gui desktop link. (using roll=/root).

In the gui interface, set the `all' switch. (One would expect snaps to
be created at /mnt-point/a/.zfs/snapshot and at
/mnt-point/a/b/.zfs/snapshot

But, what actually happens is that snapshots are created only at the
terminal filesystem: (`/mnt-point/a/b/.zfs/snapshot')

So, throughout the hierarchy, anywhere there are intermediate zfs
filesystems, `time-slider' ignores them and creates snapshots only in
terminal filesystems.

I've tried the one obvious possible work around ... deselect `all' and
manually put checkmarks on all filesystems, but still, the intermediate
filesystems are ignored.
