root@snuwtrpro[/home/truenas_admin]# sudo zpool import
no pools available to import

I had to do

zpool import -d /dev/disk/by-partuuid oldname newname
zpool export newname
zpool import -d /dev/disk/by-id -R /mnt newname
zpool export newname

to get it to show up in the truenas GUI with the correct mount point
