You only want --fake-super on the writing end so drop the
- --remote-option=--fake-super.  You would use that if you were pushing
instead of pulling.

As far as the ZFS specific stuff goes I am not sure (I use ZFS on my
backups and ext4 on my servers so I am the exact opposite here) so be
sure to try a backup and restore to make sure it gets everything.
