I think this could be the problem... I did
umount /flash and it worked the first time, but the second it may have 
told me it was still busy and I disconnected it anyway. I'm not sure 
which time I was copying files.
On the other hand I couldn't pkg_add from the flashdrive either, and 
I've copied two sets of files onto it.

Are there two Michaels on this list?
