In order to do an incremental send/receive you need to have the -p
snapshot on both source and destination file systems. You can delete
snapshots older than that.

I still don't understand why you're diffing in regards to master. It's
going to be inherently inefficient because you've said a large amount
of the contents of master aren't important; but by using it as the -p
reference snapshot, you're asking send to do a comparison that
includes a lot of metadata you don't care about. It's more efficient
to diff the incremental snapshots of the changing state of
"childofmaster" subvolume.
