What is the problem you are having with rclone?
I want to move data from one ZFS filesystem to another on the same system.
I do not have sufficient storage to have two copies of the entire dataset simultaneously on the server. However, the dataset consists of many small files. Therefore, I want to do a real-time "move and delete" operation. In other words, I'd like to have each file deleted from the source directory as soon as it has been copied and verified in the destination directory. Files that error during transfer should simply not be deleted (although this is unlikely to occur anyway on a local-to-local copy).
I want to verify with --dry-run that the behavior I expect will occur. However, using --dry-run just returns the message NOTICE: Local file system at /zfs/sourcedir: Skipped server-side directory move as --dry-run is set.
The result I want is that the contents of /zfs/sourcedir will be moved to /zfs/destdir. A file at the root of sourcedir should appear in the root of destdir - i.e. don't make a directory called sourcedir underneath destdir. As stated, I would like the deletes to occur during copy since I don't have enough storage to have two simultaneous copies.
I'll assume most people understand ZFS here, but in case someone doesn't, imagine this as equivalent to a disk-to-disk copy, i.e. it can't be accomplished by simply "moving" the file, it has to be read at the source, written at the destination, and then deleted from the source.
Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.

Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)
Local only.
The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)
root:/zfs# rclone move -vv --delete-during --dry-run -P sourcedir/ destdir/
The rclone config contents with secrets removed.
Config irrelevant since not using any remotes.
