"man zfs" says that the last argument to clone is a
"filesystem|volume". /mnt is neither.
If you want to make /mnt the mountpoint for the clone, you want:
zfs clone -o mountpoint=/mnt opensolaris-1 at somedate opensolaris-1/newclone
(or something like that). That looks like you've created a snapshot of
the pool called "opensolaris-1", and want to clone the entire pool.
