I just did a double-check with reposync to see if something has
changed in the ZFSOnLinux tree at:
http://archive.zfsonlinux.org/
On Oct. 9th they added these updated packages:

perhaps they work better with the version of dkms that is currently
in EPEL.
We have had good luck with the June version of the ZFSOnLinux repository
and the EPEL version of dkms: # dkms-2.2.0.3-20.el6.noarch
It might be wise to keep a copy of the EPEL dkms rpm for future reference,
we certainly will, since we want to be able to repeat an installation
base in the future for well-tested versions of software.
Note that the ZOL archive has some older versions of dkms in it; i.e.
Jun 26 13:06 dkms-2.2.0.3-14.zfs1.el6.noarch.rpm
Jul 14 14:36 dkms-2.2.0.3-2.zfs1.el6.noarch.rpm
