All zones (not just LX) need to be a subdirectory of a higher-level ZFS filesystem.  This is so zoneadm(1M) can create the zone root.

bloody(~)[0]% zfs list | grep zones | grep -v zbe
data/zones                              3.90G   509G    23K  /zones
data/zones/lipkg0                       3.14G   509G    24K  /zones/lipkg0
data/zones/lipkg0/ROOT                  3.14G   509G    23K  legacy
data/zones/lx0                           465M   509G   465M  /zones/lx0
data/zones/lx1                           315M   509G   239M  /zones/lx1

My bloody box has zones name per their brand, so you can see what I mean.
