Hi,

Could you check if these are due to device timeouts in the CAM layer?

There is some debugging you can turn on:

sysctl hw.usb.umass.debug=-1

Probably it will flood the console. Maybe you could add some prints to 
/sys/dev/usb/storage/umass.c in all the "default:" cases in the USB callbacks 
and print out the "error" code. That would quickly indicate if your device has 
an issue with timing, I.E. that the firmware in the USB device part is 
hanging.
