I dunno.  I just took a quick look through CAM and the ISP driver for
CAM_REQ_INVALID, and didn't see any obvious place that would return
CAM_REQ_INVALID for a 6 byte write...

Computers are causal, though, so I'm sure there's a reason in there
*somewhere*...

Yeah, definitely a weird error.  I'd never expect a SCSI drive to reject a
normal 10 byte write like that.  There are no weird flags in the CDB, and
the lba and length don't seem out of range at all...  (Unless you've got a
200MB hard FC hard drive...)
