Try: mount -t msdosfs /dev/da0s1 /thumb
Notice I added the slice number. You can always do a quick ls /dev/da* 
to see how many slices a device has.

Looks like those messages are a quirk of some USB drives: 
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-bugs/2006-April/018182.html 
According to that PR/patch, that particular drive still works despite 
the messages, so hopefully yours will too.

Oh, don't forget to CC the list for the archive's sake.

HTH,
Micah
