Randy,

just something possibly useful for the future.
Not sure if it really could have helped you here but perhaps it could:
http://anonsvn.h3q.com/projects/freebsd-patches/wiki/manageBE

I personally don't use manageBE, but I have a very similar setup/config. I perform
all the boot-environment actions by hand rather than by a script. I do it that way
because I perform major upgrades very infrequently (like once a month) and I like
an additional exercise in keyboard punching :-)
