Could it all be related to this :
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2007-April/034553.html
and the "solution" from Shane Bell in 
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2007-April/034602.html :

"I believe the culprit is somewhere in a recent MFC to atapi-cam.c (rev 
1.42.2.3) reverting to rev 1.42.2.2 fixes both the k3b system hangs 
and "INQUIRY ILLEGAL REQUEST" errors here."
