Did you just these 3 commands? You must use freebsd-update install 
twice. First time for kernel upgrade, then reboot and then 
freebsd-update install again to install new userland.
Do you have other binaries in /usr/sbin, /usr/bin, /bin /sbin upgraded? 
(ls -al shows newer date + time)

uname -a is derived from kernel, so it is possible that you have 7.1 
kernel with 7.0 userland.
