If there is no label on da10, and "zpool status" doesn't show any
spares, then I don't know what the problem is.  It's possible that
/sbin/zpool is printing an incorrect error message; it's fairly
notorious for that.  You could try to debug it.  Other wild guesses
include:
* maybe da3 is the disk with the out-of-date label.  You could try
physically removing it before doing "zpool replace"
* Since exported pools can't have active spares, you could try
exporting the pool and then reimporting it.
