FWIW, at this point I'd forget about send/receive and create the backup 
(assuming one doesn't exist already) using more normal methods.  At least 
if the original send/receive hasn't yet been done, so it'd be copying off 
all the data anyway.  Perhaps mount selected snapshots and back them up 
too (after the current case is backed up), but throw away most of the 
snapshots.

Of course if there's an existing relatively current sent/received base to 
build on, and no indication that send/receive is broken, definitely try 
that first as the amount of data to sync in that case should be MUCH 
lower, but if not...
