It should be in sync.  I rebooted twice after the freebsd-update install.  Neither time it could load modules.  However, that is the only explanation I have heard as to what might be causing the problem.  I didn’t see any error messages from freebsd-install, but its possible I missed one.  I don’t see though why open would report file not found.  Is it hiding something from ktrace as to where it is really looking?
