Version is too old, try btrfs-progsv3.12 or something latest from David' branch
Comment 3 Eric Sandeen 2014-07-14 23:32:35 UTC 
See btrfs-receive(8) in the btrfs-progs-v3.14.2

Thanks,

verify with btrfs-progs-3.16.2-1.el7, man btrfs shows following:
BTRFS(8)                       Btrfs Manual                       BTRFS(8)

NAME
       btrfs - control a btrfs filesystem

.....

 send
           Send subvolume data to stdout/file for backup and etc.

           See btrfs-send(8) for details.

       receive
           Receive subvolume data from stdin/file for restore and etc.

           See btrfs-receive(8) for details.

verify with btrfs-progs-3.14.2-2.el6, man btrfs show following:

BTRFS(8)                       Btrfs Manual                       BTRFS(8)

NAME
       btrfs - control a btrfs filesystem

.....

 send
           Send subvolume data to stdout/file for backup and etc.

           See btrfs-send(8) for details.

       receive
           Receive subvolume data from stdin/file for restore and etc.

           See btrfs-receive(8) for details.

So I think the state of this bug can be changed to be verified.
