The only time I saw such an error is when I accidentally gave the same
disk name twice, eg.:
# zpool create tank da0 da1 da0
I don't see you doing the same mistake, so something else has to be
wrong.

Can you show me the output of:
# zpool status
# zpool import
# sysctl -b kern.geom.confxml
If no pool is imported currently, you should be able to create your
pool. If one of the disks is in use already (by something else than
ZFS), the error message should be different...
