The relevant info in the logs is  that the device does not recognize the
« Synchronize cache »  command.  You may want to add a  « kernel quirk »
in scsi_da.c, it  consists of adding an entry for  your memory stick and
telling that it does not support that command.

You can use the  following PR as a model for chaning  the kernel, it's a
PR I wrote for my own memory stick:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/54786

But first, be sure to upgrade  your system to the latest current FreeBSD
sources (checkout  HEAD).  Most quirks are  now no more needed  due to a
recent refactoring of USB mass storage drivers.
