FS snapshot problems

Hi,
I'm working with fssnap command because I would search an alternative backup metod.
My server has Solaris 9 installed and following sys admin manual, I created some snapshots, this is not difficult.
But the problem is here: following manual I create without problem snapshots, for example the root FS:

root@backup # fssnap -F ufs -o bs=/BACreps/cs/snapshot_root /

Than I would like to see info about shapshot just created whit command "fssnap -i"
Instead a complete info list like explaned in the manual I only obtain this:
root@backup # fssnap -i /
0 /
I tried also with other FS but the result is the same.
Anyone has experience about snapshot backup and could help me?

Thanks a lot

/usr/lib/fs/ufs/fssnap -i /

the above should work.
