FreeNAS 9.10 Replication can not mount

Problem

Replication has been working fine using a dedicated user until I decided to move my backups from ISCSI shares to NFS shares, thus having to replicate from scratch.

However on the push side it is marked as “Failed”, then after a short while it is marked as “Up to date” but no snapshot is listed in the column “Latest snapshot sent to remote side”.

In the logs (tail -f /var/log/debug.log) I kept noticing this:
