A number of people have pointed out to me that I should be running newfs on rdk?, NOT dk?.  This was probably the source of a lot of my problems, but in my defense I was just following the documentation.  :-)

There is 'newfs dk?' which is fine as a simple name is expanded to the
raw device (aka /dev/rdk?). Then there is 'newfs /dev/dk?' which addresses
the block device that gives you various problems.
