Thank you very much for your thoughtful and thorough reply. I
appreciate this very much.
I have finally been able to work past the issue. It seems that
send/receive participates in maintaing some sort of "chain of
custody/ancestry". I had been using a pre-existing snapshot at the
destination instead of sending over an identical original via "btrfs
send". This seems to have had the effect of "breaking" that "chain",
causing send to refuse to use that snapshot as a parent. When the
original is sent, send can use it as such, and the operation I was
attempting proceeds without error.

I see three previous threads (the first starting on March 25) with you
as original poster on the list, all of which have followups to the
list, one of which has a single followup from you to someone replying
to you, from you as well. I don't however see any followups from you
to replies on the other two threads, and only the one followup to
someone replying on the one thread. So it may be that you're not
getting the replies very well. Are you subscribed to the list? While
some posters reply directly to author as
I will try keeping a more careful eye on the archives as you suggest and
see if I am missing replies.
With Thanks,
