When you ran freebsd-update fetch you received the response "No
updates needed to update system to 9.3-RELEASE-p12."  So you are at
9.3-RELEASE-p12.  As Jason stated, you probably do not have /usr/src
on that system which caused the "No such file or directory" errors you
received but the binary updates must have been installed.
