Well, maybe you should have asked that question in the ZFS section of this forum, but anyway… ;)
The answer is dead simple: if there're no common snapshots between the two systems, then your're hosed as far as the incremental replication goes. The point is: you'll have to make sure that no needed snapshots are deleted if you haven't had a successful zfs send before. I actually don't know the scripts that you are referring to, but I have written my own and I absolutely error out if something's not looking good. Previous snapshots will always only be deleted, if the actual zfs send/recv at hand has successfully passed - mind that! I think the bottom line is: you need to understand what you're doing here, don't just trust the work of others, but either understand it and use it, or gather knowledge by working it out yourself. ZFS is the most powerful fs I have encountered, but it is also quite complex and the slightest error will have your strategy (you do have one, don't you?) blow up.
