This is a known issue. You may be able to work around it by
letting dtrace start the traced process.
There's already a PR about it:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=3Dbin/158431
but the limitation isn't mentioned in the wiki:
http://wiki.freebsd.org/DTrace/userland
It's not clear to me if this has worked in the past or if it
works for other architectures (the reporter and I are both using
amd64, too).
