A couple of possibilities. 1) When in /stand/sysinstall, you don't go to the options menu and enter 3.3-RELEASE in the location for the release that you want. So you get what's already there, which is probably 3.2-RELEASE; so you've been "upgrading" to the release you already have installed. 2) Your upgrade is okay but you have two sets of sources, and you're building your kernel from an old set. (People have actually done this....) The file that holds the version info will be in /usr/src/sys/conf/newvers.sh, I think. It should say 3.3 if you've gotten the right stuff.
