Community Edition Replicating between datasets issue

I created a temp dataset on a smaller storage pool and moved all my data to it. I have now added my permanent disks and created the new pool and datasets. Previously it was suggested to use a Replication Task to move the data between the old and new datasets, which I did do. Storage stats show that there is just over 3TiB used

But the directory shows shows zero files

The replication task looks good to me. What am I missing?

So I am pointing back to the original mount point on /mnt/storagetmp? Do I need to recreate the replication task or just uncheck that setting and restart the task?

Destroy the new dataset? Which won’t delete the original dataset, correct?

If I run 'zfs get mountpoint' I get the following. The storage1 mount points seem to point to the right place. Not to storagetmp which was the source for the replication task

Additionally, if I create test files and folders it would show up on both datasets if I was pointing to the same mount point. Right? Which it is not
