I assume that's a typo, and is really "/dev/atp0"?

Error code 22 in that error string is USB_ERR_STALLED.

What version of FreeBSD are you using?  Have you tried a recent
-CURRENT snapshot?  There are recent RELENG_9 snapshots on 
http://pub.allbsd.org/FreeBSD-snapshots/ that you could try as well.
