growfs says 'we are not growing' ?!?!

[Rishi Chopra]

Any idea why my partitions (da0s1a, da0s1d, da0s1e) don't have valid 
disk labels?

# disklabel -A da0s1d | more
disklabel: /dev/da0s1d: no valid label found
# disklabel -A da0s1e | more
disklabel: /dev/da0s1e: no valid label found
 
I created the partitions and mount points when installing the os using 
the standard GUI.
