Drive errors in raidz array

I have a system with 24 drives in raidz2.  When testing with bonnie++
it seemed to work fine (although I had to raise the arc_max to
prevent kernel panics).  However, now we're copying data to it and
dmesg is showing many errors like:

mpt0: mpt_cam_event: 0x16
mpt0: request 0xffffff80005f3840:63495 timed out for ccb 0xffffff000988f800 (req->ccb 0xffffff000988f800)

for every drive in the array.  Additionally, zpool scrub says:

 pool: backups

status: One or more devices has experienced an unrecoverable error.  An
        attempt was made to correct the error.  Applications are unaffected.
action: Determine if the device needs to be replaced, and clear the errors
        using 'zpool clear' or replace the device with 'zpool replace'.

I'm using 8.0-RELEASE-p2 on amd64.  One other thing that changed
between testing with bonnie++ and now is that I used glabel to label
the drives before I put them in the raidz array.

There is no raid controller.

Is this something anyone has seen before?  Googling around shows
some similar errors but no solutions.
