 This appears to be "normal" behaviour for the firewire code in FreeBSD.
 To convince a firewire drive to detach Initiate a firewire bus reset
 with the fwcontrol command. To reset the bus use the -r command three
 times in succession. It's a kludge but it works.
 
     # fwcontrol -r
     # fwcontrol -r
     # fwcontrol -r
