First, your argument there should just be the bename at snapshot

   # beadm destroy opensolaris-1 at 2009-03-08-03:02:43


However, this is defect 7071, which isn't fixed until build 110.
The workaround is to manually destroy the snapshot using zfs.

   # zfs destroy -r rpool/ROOT/opensolaris-1 at 2009-03-08-03:02:43
