I would suspect that there is someone in the global zone did:

# cd /snitch-zone04/root/tmp

And is still sitting there.  Perhaps "fuser -c
/snitch-zone04/root/tmp" is in order to see if it lists out any PIDs.
If this wasn''t in under a zonepath, I would also look for mounts and
NFS shares in subdirectories of the fs that won''t unmount.
