An unnoticed failure at the chflags execution? More likely: a
read only file system? Or a destination which is already there
but cannot be removed (although you excluded this above)?
Check the output of `ls -ldo /kernel*` and `mount`. It must be
something obvious as soon as you don't just assume things should
work ("I set rc.conf to ...") but check the _consequences_
("what's the system's status"). It's the "I tried to toggle
this switch" versus the "I queried the OS how it sees itself"
thing, I guess. :) But could as well be a detail of running
single user mode you won't see in a live system.
If all else fails in checking the constraints, you might have to
diagnose the problem by means of truss(1) to see which operation
is being denied.
