  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The sequential_archive and the          *
  *                      sequential_restore failed on            *
  *                      datasets.compare if the source dataset  *
  *                      is empty.                               *
  ****************************************************************
  As we don't let ZOAU dataset.copy create the target dataset
  anymore, we don't need to compare the source and destination.
  Now we use dataset.create to create first the target dataset,
  and then dataset.copy.
