I've some suspicion. Could you try this patch:

	http://people.freebsd.org/~pjd/patches/g_stripe.c.patch

(so you have to:

	# cd /sys/geom/stripe
	# patch < /path/to/g_stripe.c.patch
	# cd /sys/modules/geom/geom_stripe
	# make && make install
	# reboot
)

And give me output of:

	# dmesg | grep skipping
