FreeBSD 9.0 Snapshots

Has anyone been using Snapshots on UFS with journaled soft-updates 
enabled?

I have a couple of new systems built after 9.0 came out, my backup 
scripts take snapshots, and then mount them to backup the files, the 
couple older servers that I upgraded from 8.2 to 9.0 from source are not 
having any problems, a quick check shows their file systems aren't 
running the new journaled Soft-Updates options.  The new systems which 
are, frequently hang up and become unresponsive when taking the 
snapshots.
