I'm getting an error when trying to send a subvolume. I only seem to be
able to do this as root. The subvolume was created by the user account,
and not root. Could anybody shed some light on why this is failing? Is
there a way to get it working?

$ btrfs send /var/spool/backups/hacking/2017-03-10 > something
ERROR: cannot open '/': Operation not permitted

Also appears I cannot even use btrfs subvolume show:

$ btrfs subvolume show /var/spool/backups/hacking/2017-03-10
ERROR: can't perform the search - Operation not permitted
ERROR: can't find 'var/spool/backups/hacking/2017-03-10'

$ sudo btrfs subvolume show /var/spool/backups/hacking/2017-03-10
