Glad you solved the issue RJPugh, I got to come back to read-how. Anyway, add this and see what happen is it's not said already. Last week I decided to dd out one of my flash-drive because I got sick of the DOS 4GB limit. I was ready to suffer the consequences but when I re-booted and plugged my UFS formatted, the first place I looked was in the /dev directory. It had da0 and not da0s1... so now I only have to:

Code:
mount /dev/da0 /mnt
and no more mount_msdosfs or mount -t

and I been using it every since. ...

I been meaning to read this thread for a week... If you try it I bet the da0s1 is still there waiting for your HDD. but if you dd from the head of the HDD someday it may not work anymore because it to may becomes da0.

PS: I had to do:
Code:
newfs -U /dev/da0
before mounting
...
