Solved Access main host zpool from FreeBSD Jail

J

I have a FreeNAS box and want to create a FreeBSD jail for custodial scripts to manage files on various datasets in my main zpool. I want the jail to be able to move files across datasets so I would prefer to not mount via a network share. I want to put these scripts into a jail so I can install extra ports to help me out with building various toolsets for my scripts. The issue I am seeing is being able to access my zpool from the jail.

I tried mount_nullfs. I my example, /mnt/za1 is my main zpool. When I run mount_nullfs /mnt/za1 /mnt/za1/jails/mybsd/za1, It errors out
Code: 
mount_nullfs: /mnt/za1 (/mnt/za1) and /mnt/za1/jails/mybsd/za1 are not distinct paths

What is the best way to accomplish this?
 
I was able to accomplish this by mounting datasets individually rather than the entire zpool. This prevents the source path from being within the mount path.
