mirror-stream over ssh w/o 'root' privs

Solved: (For now .. 'BFBI' method) - the permissions problem that seemed to require enabling 'root' login on the target. CAVEAT_1: At the present state, this will most likely create new PFS directly under '/' (presuming all else is already PFS-mounted). CAVEAT_2: Security still not optimal.

Well, you can always write the stream out to a file I guess, but the basic problem here is that the mirroring stream is a B-Tree layer stream. If we can't trust the source there's no point running the stream onto an actual filesystem without some major auditing of its contents.
