Sorry.  It's been a Hell of a week.  What I _should_ have written:
* Create a copy, via rsync, on the destination host.  This is my 
"origin"
* Create a CoW snapshot of the origin -- giving snapshots datestamps
* rsync to the new snapshot
* create a (datestamped) snapshot of the newly-rsync'd-to snapshot
* rsync to *that*
* Rinse and repeat daily

And, finally, delete -- or, rather, "btrfs sub del" -- whatever 
snapshots are outside of my retention period.
