I got that message when changing a server from NetBSD to FreeBSD last week. It turned out that some static route commands I brought across from NetBSD didn't work on FreeBSD. My situation was a PPP link to a host I will call access-server. My end of the PPP link was assigned an IP address I will call news-dialin. This link provides a news feed and is not the default route for the host, hence the static route. I then had a static route... route add -host news.other.domain news-dialin.other.domain I found I had to change it to... route add -host news.other.domain access-server.other.domain before it would work. So it looks like you can only add gateway routes that reference the "other side" of a point to point link rather than the "local side". This may or may not help you, it depends on your situation.
